You're in a poker game. He controls the cards and the bank. You have
one card, which is your proven ability. Don't be surprised when a
principal lies to you, oops, I mean he meant something else when you
were asked what you're looking for.
You have two choices, stay and look for other employment, or play
negotiation game. You don't have to accept the offer, just pencil in
the original number, and see what happens. Continue to do your job,
and decide what's best for you in this environment.
