Why does my bootstrap button overlap when window is resized smaller

Question

I am trying to have my buttons be beside each other at all display sizes.However when I make my window smaller, they overlap each other as shown in the jsfiddle.

I have tried using col-xs-offset and col-xs-push but it affects my col-md and col-lg settings for some reason, I have checked my bootstrap and html but there doesn't appear to be any issues there.

How can I fix this?

You may want to remove the unordered list that is containing your buttons and instead use a button group:

http://getbootstrap.com/components/#btn-groups

Also, since button groups make the buttons flush to each other, use some CSS to override their margins.

JS Fiddle:

CSS

.btn-group button { margin: 0 7px; }

HTML

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-4 text-left">
            <img src="logo.jpg" class="img-responsive" alt="logo" />
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-8 text-right">
            <div class="btn-group" role="group">
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-user"></i> Job Seekers</button>
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-user"></i><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-user"></i> Employers</button>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
