12. They want to see if you're smart enough to write down "will discuss"

It's a total power play. They just want to make you think they're the boss just because, you know, they're the boss.

Seriously, it's all a negotiation, of course. So information is a key tool for them. When you meet, you're just as entitled to ask what the previous person in that position was making. You'll make less, probably, but then again the person you're replacing was with the company longer than you (since you're not working there yet).
