Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations
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?

Ehhh I’m open if someone wants to talk about it with me but I respect peoples boundaries about the topic
Still I am in an entirely separate group. By myself. I don't need to know all the members. Just Wilks, her, Rob, and I'll actually just talk to the rest. This is getting out of hand. I don't like leading people on. I mean there's always going to be some of that. Look her role isn't sustainable. Maybe it is, but that's a special case. Most people would rather suffer the monotony of monogamy than put up with the drama of poly.
Everybody should.
Clarity.

I wouldn’t share my salary.
Me either! I also probably don’t wanna know everybody else’s because there’s too much that goes into disparity.
I think it's a situation where most people want transparency and accountability in the workplace, but nobody wants to be the first person to start the conversation. I've tried to be a leader in that sense in my workplace, and I've gotten a "thanks for sharing but I'm not comfortable disclosing..." from my peers. Which ultimately ended up being a useless endeavor. I think it's hard to break this taboo when workplaces are still invested in keeping it a taboo.
IMM1 - That's a thoughtful take. There can be a lot of ego and uncertainty tied up in money, even when people mean well. It makes sense that those feelings could complicate efforts to be more transparent, especially when there's no real structure around it. Thanks for sharing!
In my experience, I've never been asked to share my salary with my coworkers. It depends on the situation and why this information is being asked of me.
1 yeah if you can't be transparent with your fellow employees it seems as if it is just a Shifty business practice in my opinion.
I definitely will not do that. I make a good deal of money and I don’t have any reason to spark jealousy among colleagues.
Yes I intuited that, he called me instead of replying all.
2. It benefits you to be transparent with your pay, and if everyone were transparent with their pay, it would benefit smart people even more. Not to compare for the sake of comparing, but rather to compare and then to do something with that knowledge
If you want a commitment now I'd have to say no.
I wish that people were more open about salary transparency. I have never minded sharing my salary because people don't know they are being underpaid if nobody ever talks about it. I really wish they would make salary transparency a federal law.
To each their own. I would never share my salary with my coworkers.

Years ago had a job where one manager had a spreadsheet of salaries in a shared folder. Anyone could open and read it. I was severely paid less than others. Didn’t sit well with me.
He told me.
Companies often bully you into thinking you are doing something illegal or against policy but at the end of the day your right to talk about your compensation is federally protected in the USA they can't retaliate or stop you. We need to remember that.
It hurts a lot, I can't jump from fantasy to fet in a leap. Well maybe.
Yes I do. As a woman I want to ensure that I am paid appropriately. I also believe that this will help other women. I am hourly.
1 all the way. Especially, when the company pays new hires more. It’s backwards & why people move jobs every 2-3 years. Loyalty & value is dead.
Yeah I'm not going to agree even if you are right.
No, as it breeds into jealousy and lack of production.
Not in the workplace.
I mean most people would say not at all, I would say that too. That's what discipline is.
It can lead to a profound decline in personal productivity for some. Managers I’m guessing will not be overly excited. If we could though freely and with out prejudice I’m sure myself and others would be in for a surprise!
