Offered an Operations role at Walmart and asked if negotiation was possible. The hiring manager said yes and encouraged me to submit a proposal. After sending it, I was rejected the next morning with no explanation and no chance to accept the original offer. A supervisor later implied I shouldn’t have asked. Trying to understand what I could have done differently, was negotiating inappropriate here?

There is nothing wrong in asking about negotiating a salary. You are just being a good applicant. Hard to know as to the ‘why’ since I have no idea how the interview went…

It’s a company market just now, not an employee one, so I’d be more prepared to accept what they offered vs negotiating just now. We have little power just now given the economy, layoffs and Fed rates.

Companies don’t care about employees anymore. They’ll just take the cheapest people they think can do the job, at least in the short term. Some of those people will exit asap though once they find something better.

Hello Amazonians,

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

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.

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
