My parents told me the working world is full of such stuffs and I just learnt my first lesson as this is my first job

Your first job? I am starting to wonder what your qualifications are, because depending on it, you may either get a not bad deal or a super duper scammed deal.

I am not aware of any job functions that gives 2.5k to fresh grad, typically diploma 1.6~1.8 and uni 2.8~3.7

So i guess the question now is, are you dip/deg ?

fresh deg. This was a job intro by my ex-boss so i put a lot of trust into him. and my current boss told me to sacrifice $300/month in order to achieve bigger things in life. duhhh.....i can do so much with $300/month.

Seriously? 2.2k for a fresh grad? OMG!! You do know some poly flunked their results and getting that pay in a logistics admin environment right?

Imho, that is a really bad start, and even when you move on to other jobs, your future employers will try to cut you down based on what you are currently getting.

btw 300/mth is really a lot, thats what i can afford to spend per mth anyway cause i am an engineer! Trust me I am an "engineer".

Not happy can dont sign ???

Seem that they are not very keen to hire you. Maybe they found someone more suitable or cheaper but in order to give face to your ex boss , they still give you a offer with a pay cut.

Seem like a dodgy company.
