You can't argue with your bosses because they don't care about the points you make. They have the power and know it. You can migrate, or find better job. Maybe look into unionizing (no idea about your country).

I learned this a few years ago. I can make great arguments but it doesn't matter. The boss has his mind made up and he'll say anything, even blatant BS, to justify it.

Line managers usually have no control over what your initial negotiated offer is. Unless your line manager is the equivalent of director+ of course.

I agree that these are blatant lies. Unionizing seems impossible? I'm not sure what it entails and how would one even go about it.

Someone else mentioned about taking up contract work, which seems like something I can give a shot at.
