<prompt> Human: Update from: rpersonalfinancecomments63v1ltupdate_1_i_was_offered_a_promotion_was_forcefulSo, I let things settle down a little bit. Was offered the job at a salary higher than my floor, but about 5k lower than what I requested. I went back and forth on what to do about the whole unprofessional conduct, and, unfortunately felt like I didnt have much recourse without making things unbearable assuming I moved forward in the job. My boss is too close to her boss and HR to do anything meaningful. Part of me wanted to walk away and say thats what you get, but I also knew at bare minimum it would be a good stepping stone and, while disappointed, it was over a 25 raise.So, I decided to forego any more back and forth, and accept the job as offered. Thanks for everyones support.  <response>: Nice negotiating on your part.If I recall, you work for non-profit. As a former people manager and raise giver-outer for a big corporation, I can tell you that 25 is extremely rare for a promotion job change.While Im not excusing your managers behavior at all, I can imagine there were some serious hoops jumped through to get that raise - and whether it was your boss, your bosss boss or your HR manager who helped fight for it maybe all 3 , they do definitely value you, whether they know how to separate business from feelings.Good luck, and keep your external connections tight; if your boss behaves like this again about something else, you should be ready to walk.
