Has anyone negotiated pay at a hospital or company that states they have different levels/tiers of fixed pay for so-and-so profession and can’t budge? I’ve worked in other fields prior to healthcare and have a hard time believing every (pick profession like PT) gets paid exactly (pick random number like $72,345). I’m skeptical because it sounds like “we have levels/tiers of fixed pay and can’t budge” is just an excuse to shut down negotiation right away. Can anyone share their experience?

I went through a couple of steps: The position I applied for was a “union held position” so I reached out to people I knew who were in the same union, and asked for their wage breakdown. The breakdown gave me the pay rate for each tier.

When negotiating, I asked how they defined the tiers, then mentioned how my relevant work experience was more aligned with the higher tiers.

Most likely a union environment. If you don’t want rigid rules and standard pay increases you might want to look elsewhere.

Only 1 out of 5 places this has happened to me was actually unionized. The rest weren’t, so it doesn’t make sense.

Is anyone else tired of hearing people talk about all of the things our seniors are missing out on? I’m so tired of this entitlement situation. Yes, it would be nice to have a graduation and end of the year activities. But these things are not owed to anyone. How about being grateful for survival? There are students all over the world that seem to get along just fine without senior activities.
