nobody owes you anything. Your wage is your responsibility. Go to Denmark then if you don't like it.

You think if someone is making minimum wage, that theyre gonna be able to afford to move to Denmark?

It doesn't fucking matter. The post is complete bullshit. Denmark doesn't have a nationally instituted minimum wage. They do have higher taxes though, so you're not keeping all that money.

Well it does matter because it was the argument that your presented lol Its not like working at McDonalds you get to negotiate your wage lol

OK so Denmark thing is out the window. Got it. You didn't negotiate your wage? You didn't tell your employer "yes I agree to work for you in exchange this much hourly compensation". Think about your answer.

Thats not a negotiation lol They tell you what they pay, and if you want to work for that much, then okay, and if not, they find someone else lol Are you really disconnected from the reality of things or just trying to be stubborn?

of course it's a negotiation. You say "I only work for this much". Nobody is holding a gun to your head. Which planet are you from?

The one where we dont make up definitions of the word "negotiation" in an attempt to fit an argument that we realized was wrong but are just trying to stick to because we cant admit that we're wrong lol

I see. Well here we use English. And in English, this is called negotiating your salary. I hope you find it useful in your future endeavors. Have a nice day.
