It was actually minimum wage
Unfortunately, it is unsurprising that some companies are dishonest with their salaries. They make promises of high wages and benefits, only to reveal later that the offer was just a classic bait-and-switch tactic to take advantage of people’s need for work.
Companies should be transparent about their salaries and benefits from the get-go. After all, nobody wants to play a game of ‘Guess my salary’ with a potential employer! So, to avoid this, do not be afraid to ask this tough question upfront!
