Reply #67: I agree that the way she handled the salary negotiating

[gkhouston]

was completely ridiculous but I have a lot of difficulty believing that he had in fact already ordered business cards, set up a computer, etc., unless they had agreed on a firm start date. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall for some of their communications prior to the email exchanges. I'm thinking that either she verbally agreed to take the job and subsequently decided she should have asked for a higher salary and the, "I said I was interested, I didn't give you an absolute yes" business is a lie or his "but I've already done all these things in preparation for your arrival" is a lie. I doubt she'd be such a valuable catch that he'd feel an inclination to lie about business cards just to pressure her into accepting the job, so I'm guessing that baby lawyer's on the wrong side of this one.
