Professional ghosting. People who ask for something in a workplace environment, often something labor-intensive that requires a significant investment of time, labor, or emotions. And then… pfft. No feedback or acknowledgment. Do you think this happens because the asker is overwhelmed, or afraid of something, or…? What’s the underlying motivation?

Should I negotiate without any competing offers?

Company: Walmart Tech Labs
Location: Hoboken
Base: 150k
Bonus: 24k (16%)
RSU: 25k / year for 3 years

Offered TC: 180k
YOE: 3

I initially thought TC was 199k, but it’s actually 180k. Should I say something like “I was expecting 220. Is there anything you can do like a sign on bonus/raise base a bit to help get to 220?” To see if they can bump it up a bit?

I just don’t want to negotiate and get the offer rescinded.
