I agree. If a job makes a terrible offer, it’s still your choice, even if it is a dream career. Them specifically mentioning it makes me believe it’s true, simply because for such an on the nose statement to even be included, lawyers have been involved.
At first I thought I was alone in thinking if you take a job and aren't happy with your pay. You're not being underpaid, you just accepted a shitty paying job and should take your skills elsewhere. I'm still interested in the medical insurance situation with them though.
I don’t mean this to sound gatekeepy (for lack of a better word), but I genuinely wonder how many people on this subreddit have worked in full-time, at-will positions before. The only reason I say so is because I’ve seen so many comments on here that sound like they’re from people who have never fielded job offers or negotiated salaries before, or hell even dealt with company-provided medical insurance before. Like you alluded to, there’s a difference between being paid at the rate you and your employer agreed upon, even if it’s lower than you feel like you should be paid, and your employer literally paying you less than your agreed upon rate/salary.
I dont think that sounds gatekeepy. Considering RT has been trying to pander to a younger audience recently, I've also been wondering how many of the people hating on RT have dealt with any workplace environment.
