Good on you girl. Seems like they are trying to get away with paying people the least amount of money. Maybe if they made you a counter offer when you first raised the issue, it would have been more sincere and perhaps you could come to some sort of midway agreement. But to make an offer when you hand in your notice makes the whole issue so ugly.

I don't think there are many Dane's on Hive, tagging the only one I know @cwow2, not sure if he can help in any way. Hopefully you will find something soon. Good luck
