Hi there! I was recently laid off from a digital health company due to unstable market changes. During my time there I experienced being singled out and prompted for an ongoing background check without cause as well as unprofessional behavior from management (calling my emergency contact as a result of being late). I was offered a 10 week severance package, but I am wondering if I can/should negotiate the amount due to my treatment. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You could try, of course. What likelihood do you think you have of succeeding? Ask yourself what are the possible negative outcomes or scenarios and can you live with those outcomes.
I would say it’s unlikely they’ll offer more, as in my experience 10 weeks isn’t bad.

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.

The company I work for is based out of a different state. They’re HR team makes more because of cost of living. Well, that has changed dramatically and over the last 3 years my state has soared passed theirs. Our team has not received inflation adjustment and we still make less than the team in our base office because of “cost of living”. My team and I have worked hard to demonstrate this but we are not being heard. The obvious would be to look elsewhere but other than this issue, I’m happy here
