That being said I just think it could have been handled better by both parties.

I mean, you could also argue that's the point of negotiating contracts.
If you feel you're worth X amount but only offered Y, that's your choice whether to sign said contract or seek other opportunities.

I am firmly in the camp that you work through your contract and you look for any increased $$ in your next upcoming contract negotiations.
