I'm not sure if this is the proper sub for this but I came looking for advice because I'm a little confused. I work for a manufacturing company and got recommended for a promotion by my manager. The job offer came and it wasn't quite at the level I was told could have happened. It was still a good pay increase with slightly better benefits so I countered for a dollar more an hour than they offered. Word came down that a higher-up was very angry by my counteroffer. I was told he said I'm being greedy since I'm "unqualified and being given a chance anyway". I'm wondering if this is normal? Should I not have countered because I don't have the degree typically associated with this job title? I'm not familiar with this process and could really use some advice on if I messed up here.
