Has anyone had a successful negotiating backfire on them? Because I think I’m starting to regret my high salary a little. During my review, I negotiated hard, and it worked, because I got a sizable pay bump. However, I guess I didn’t consider what this pay increase would cost me. Because my workload keeps increasing, and if I say I’m getting overwhelmed, my manager is quick to point out that I’m paid more than most people in my role. I guess I lost the right to complain.

This isn’t supposed to be the case. Your manager is retaliating.

That's not what salary negotiations are for. It's not for your possible workload. it's to compensate you for the skills and experience you ALREADY have under your belt. These are things the company does not need to refine or teach to you. Tell your boss you're happy to teach him how to negotiate his next raise, but your salary is based on your acquired skill and experience, not on future workload. Tell him you do not appreciate the reference to your pay every time you say you need help. This is his first and last warning, and the next comment will be escalated.

I agree if I was able to but I'm not and your a prick for using an analogy you got from an assumption that comparing someone to a cheap car and working them harder because they aren't worth as much money, rather than using the Ferrari,when the reality comes after you need to take that good ol faithful you never sold and never intend to , you should just rent the high end car for the 2-3 day weekends , and not bother , unless your lucky enough to not even get out of bed to make good money, and choose to look the other way because you believe in your mind your better than those humble beginning now., that Toyota Tacoma that you have all you memories good and bad , past and present

Research what he said and verify.

You fought for your worth. That should not be a weapon for your manager to use against you. The salary you were given was deemed fitting for your knowledge and agreed upon by the HR department. I would request a meeting with your manager and a HR rep to discuss your issues.

No, I don't think you've lost your right to complain. I think the manager is afraid that at this rate you'll soon take his place.

Maybe you should step it up a little. Whats more important? Haveing a nice cozy shift? Or getting paid money ?

They make sure they get their monies worth!

Absolutely! And when comes a new season to move on. They'll run you soooo quick til your last straw. Or they'll drop you like a Mike on Saturday night live. Careful. Work what you're being paid. Sametime. Pace yourself nice and steady. Keep up. You're getting paid to do said task. And of course Breathe. You were picked. Shine.

I just graduated from my bachelors and I have received an offer for 3k per month (incl bonus) from Accenture in tech consulting (level 11), which was my top choice. However, I am not very satisfied with the pay so I wanted to ask:
1. I might also get offers from PwC or Deloitte, are they likely to pay more?
2. Is that enough to live a comfortable life in Amsterdam Zuid?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
