How not to negotiate a job offer

Last night's Nightline had a story about a recent law school graduate using email to negotiate with her future boss (evidently at a very small law firm that does not have an HR department to handle this type of stuff) her salary.

"An ordinary office spat? Nope. Korman forwarded the exchange to a friend … and it spread throughout the Boston legal community — and then to the Boston Globe, to the International Herald Tribune, to ABC News' "Nightline.""

Looks like an aspiring attorney and her future job prospects in the Boston area will soon be separated.
