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.
Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

How long were you covering for your coworker? The key is to try to calculate how much time and extra burden you had to put into covering for your coworker. Come up with a fair amount to be compensated and then build your case around this. Keep it factual, so your manager has a harder time pulling the were family here argument

3 months - and thank you! Love this approach
I think it's important to negotiate even for "temporary" stints. You have the most leverage before you start doing more work (when they're asking you to), so in the future I would try to negotiate then. If your "temporary" role has lasted a long time, I'd speak to your manager about fair compensation. They need to know you're unsatisfied with the current gig.

Thank you! Love this perspective
If it was just 3 months and then everything went back to how it was I would be very surprised if they gave you a raise because of that. Normally additional work throughout the year that is not permanent would be reflected in a bonus but because not permanent they are not going to pay you for work you did for 3 months as part of your normal pay.
Coach
That’s fair too. Appreciate the perspective
I'm in the same boat - the key is documentation, creating a business case, and formally requesting a raise so it's documents. This is part of my progress case to be compensated, documenting my requests, business case and the costs/impacts of the work I do.
I copy my boss on the BCC line for all my out of scope communications from a visibility stand point - I built a slide deck in conjunction with my raise request letter, and I have a spreadsheet tracking my in-scope role deliverables/achievements and stats.
The best thing you can do is come armed with stats, a business case and a formal request. Document it all; and if your employer continues to decline to pay you for it - it won't be a surprise when you move on, and you can point to all your documented info.
Build your case, get that raise and go crush it!!
