I seriously would have photoshopped a paystub in that situation. But I wouldn't have lied in the first place, though.

if you're not lying, you're not doing it right. and i doubt she could spell photoshop.

ya she's the only person i know that got busted that way. if someone did ask, i would reply with a "i was speaking in terms of total comp" and just layer in benefits like health insurance/401k, etc until i reached the number that i claimed i was making.

Yea, just say an end of year bonus of 20% and be done with it.

welp, the good news is that one time when ol clams was at her house with his gf, she brought out the hustler she was in and there were pics of her with another girl in it. so anyway.

I'm glad there was a happy ending to this story.

They're waiting on a call back from HR to see if it's in the budget.

Seemed to be chipper about it and open to it, though.

I had double bargaining power and superb leverage because not only am I an EMAW but I am also an MHS Indian. racquetcat you know how that goes.
