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.

poor and stupid 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".

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 ?

I turned down all the other interviews already and if I don't sign, it will take another few months to find a job. I feel like I got cheated and this contract only last 6 months. Have any of you all encounter this before? This is so unethical!
Hi Larry, this is off to a bad start. Your new boss did not show good faith. Personally I will walk away.

Unregistered I had a similar situation at my previous firm:

Caught sight of my colleague's e-payslip once when she asked me to help fixed her hanged computer. Realised that she was getting 20% more than me.

1 week later. I went to negotiate with boss. Said I received an offer 1.3x my current pay. (of course cannot mention that I caught sight of colleague's payslip but did a round-about nego tactic)

Boss agreed to match 1.3x but 2 weeks later said HR approved only 1.2x.
