Salary Negotiable

The worst part of job hunting is wasting your time on interviews! One netizen complained that they applied to a company where the salary was listed as 'negotiable,' only to find out in the 3rd interview that the monthly salary was only 38,000 NTD. They expressed dissatisfaction and wondered why companies don't just disclose their actual salaries. The netizen posted on Dcard, recalling an instance where they applied to a company that listed 'negotiable' in the salary section on a job search website. After going through three rounds of interviews, they were told the monthly salary was only 38,000 NTD, which angered them, leading them to exclaim, 'If I had known it was this low earlier, I wouldn't have wasted my time interviewing.' After the post went viral, many netizens commented, such as 'What's the point of writing 'negotiable' if you're not offering over 40,000 NTD?', 'According to the law, if it's listed as negotiable and not exceeding 40,000 NTD, it's illegal, no exceptions,' 'Negotiable means it must be over 40,000 NTD; you can report it if it's false,' and 'It feels like the 40,000 NTD threshold for negotiation needs to be raised. 40,000 NTD used to be livable, but now it's no different from low wages. Seeing 'negotiable' and then being offered only 40,000 NTD is really something.' I didn't know there was a regulation stating that 'negotiable' salaries below 40,000 NTD are illegal. Did you all know about this?
