Manager position-PART II
I have read some wise words posted to my possible responses to the job offer.

This is what happened:

Everyone, including my interviewer our director, all dressed up in suits, ties, or skirts for the interviews, EXCEPT ME. My attitude was "Who cares!! if you are gonna pick me, you wouldn't care how I dress. 4 days a week of business attire are enough." All my colleagues were surprised and called me "crazy but daring".

When I got my job offer, my director asked me "if we are unable to increase your salary, would you be still interested in the job?"
Hell no!!! I am not a free labor. No job is worth of taking without proper compensation, except for charity/ nonprofit. Have you heard people got promoted without increased salary?? Never!!

After they talked to Aexxa (my company), they finally increased my salary offer by that worthless pennies. My director said this to me " this is the best they can do because they think you are currently already making too much/ much more than others." I smirked. "You are my first choice, and I really need to know your answer now." he said it with a serious face. Then I pretend I was serious too and told him "I just can't accept your offer with that salary." That is an insult to myself and my past managerial experience.

Funny thing is that he started to complain to me about his salary and this company!!! He even told me how much more he makes than me with 60 people under him.

Did I make the right decision?
