During my hiring process, the HR Director said I was not worth the company's offer. That I would never get a better offer anywhere because I didn't have much experience (I had 15 years). They spoke in a demeaning, rude way to push me into not negotiating further. After I told them they were unprofessional and I ended the conversation and told them to keep the job offer, the company CEO called me up to apologize and explain that he and the team I would work with really valued me. I ended up taking the job, but now within 6 months I have the better offer the HR Director said I would never get. I want to point out how wrong they were, because their words were soul-crushing at the time. I want the company to know that should never be a tactic taken with any new hire again. Is there a way to do this? Or should I just leave without bringing it up. It was so painful at the time, it's hard to not want to point it out, because they were so wrong, but for a person with low self-esteem, a part of me believed it and nobody should have to feel that way.

  • Help who understand? Who do you think will benefit from this? How will people find out about your actions and the results of those actions? Do you think that the company will tell all future job prospects about this? Who exactly do you hope will benefit and how do you imagine that they'll acquire this benefit?
