I’m curious, people of colour in this bowl, do you feel like you wouldn’t want to ask for higher salary or push your leaders? As a POC, I sometimes feel scared, but talking to my other colleagues, they sometimes seem fearless. Is there a way to get over this?

As a PoC, I actually feel more bold about asking than non-PoC co-workers. They act like title and being teacher’s pet pays the bills. Then when comp time lands and we share notes, my bank account gets better results but I let my manager know I’m not here to make friends but to make money by being the top in my group. I perform that way and expect to get paid that way.

If you’re shying away from the conversation, check your work and make sure it can cash the checks your mouth writes when you talk about pay.

Never make yourself small. That’s what they want us to do. As a woman of color you always ask for what you want. I see so many non deserving-entitled “people” come in and have the audacity to ask for things they don’t deserve. I will always ask for what I do deserve. The narrative this country is pushing makes many of us feel undeserving and uncomfortable asking for what is rightfully our. Historically ancestors who were brown were made to feel the same way. So please be fearless and if the don’t see your worth, don’t get upset, just find another place to work. You deserve more!

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
