First World Problem..........Salary not matching on job offer letter

[PWB15]

On 6/24 during the interview I was told the salary for the state position was 60K. Then when I was offered the job on 7/5 which was a conditional offer, I was told the salary was $61,330 contingent on the successful background check. Background was successful and the written confirmation that came in the mail yesterday has the salary as 60K again. So i sent a email to HR this morning and have not received a response so I will just ask about this on monday when I start.

But the reason I wont make a big deal is because I never made over 45,000 my entire life so whether it's 60 or 61 it wont make that much of a difference because my financial situation will still be a life changing moment. I can't make too much of a deal out of it since 60K was the first number I was told and 61K was the second. So it's kind of a first world issue

Is OP the same gimmick as walk on water? Both behave like imbeciles.

Yep. It's happening everywhere..

At my current workplace my colleagues and myself are constantly stressed because the offer doesn't match the money they make on the Paystub.

I start my new job Sept 3rd and I'm looking at $43,680 @ $21 an hour.

Since I'm hourly, I think it'll be easier to trail compared to salaried.

but you wouldnt get too bent out of shape if the salary was 42,013 at @20.42 an hour since you are still in the 20's hourly and the 40's salary wise

Of course. $0.68 makes a huge difference. Heck, even $0.25 a year will make a difference.

The difference up front is the impact on whether or not you can afford a more quality meal a week for example.

When you're new, it's great to call that shit out right away but in a respectful way.

It's how you confront the situations. Having difficult to have conversations are insanely important.

Yes, and both OP and Walk on Water are Akrazotile/Starface. Sorry to all who responded to him seriously.
