[Help] How do negotiate a job offer salary?

You might want to edit out the company name [MENTION=20792]spongy[/MENTION].

Why? I dont work there any more and have no animosity towards them

I'm not in the habit of being a twunt for twunts sake, I wish them all the best and if anyone on here needs something laser cut then they know where to go..... (I will still recommend them as I did/they do) some top quality stuff....

I may have moved on but its still a small local specialist company that needs to survive

Well, it been my last day at Cirrus Laser, my notice period has been mental.

Handed in my notice on the Monday morning, (which go down very well at all), the MD took the letter and turned his back on me and didnt speak to me all day...., on the Tuesday morning Mrs Spongy called to say she needs a covid test (again) so I have to come home and isolate, it came back positive so had to do the whole 14 day isolation, return to work 2 weeks later to find they've only given me SSP so halved my wages in the most important payday before Christmas (thanks for that you ********).

The last 2 weeks the new guy who got the job I had been promised (and has no experience btw) has been on me constantly trying to learn things and I have obliged as its not his fault. Its taken 3 years of operating a brakepress and another 2 years to learn how to program offline and work out accurate bending allowances and tool selection, whats possible and most importantly to fix a mistake from someone before you. He has an AWFUL time ahead of him and they haven't bothered to replace me yet so all the specific knowledge also goes with me to the new job but at the end of the day its their loss not mine....

We've had a deposit for a house in the bank for nearly a year now but this opportunity gives me, Mrs Spongy, Ms Spongy and Little Ms Spongy the chance to buy our own house in the new year once I'm settled in.

Even though I've been pissed off there for the last 2 years overall the last 10 have been generally good fun and a good craic with the others on the shop floor (what shopfloor isn't fun with the right people (and it seems the MD still hasn't noticed the hole in the back of the forklift from when I tried to scare the crap out of a colleague when he was putting a pallet of steel back in the rack when I smashed it with a hammer))

But its time to move on to a new challenge.

Actually feeling a bit philosophical and emotional right now as I've been working there for nearly 1/4 of my whole life. But the copious al ohol has made me write this.

I want to get back k to the football and have a drink, laugh, hopefully celebrate, but probably moan and a good time with my mates watching the team I love in the place I love with all you like minded folk..

Its what I am, its who I am. BHAFC. #TOGETHER

Good luck. mate. Life is a bugger. You are on the up. Have a cracking Christmas and onwards and upwards, innit.
