We recently hired a Black guy to join our team. He asked for $80K. He was given $80K. Fine.
We had two open reqs and this White dude we were offering asked for $75K. When my boss called him to make a verbal offer, he told him our offer would be $75K. I thought the offer was fair given that person’s experience and expected impact in the role.
When my boss sent the offer letter, he decided to bump it up to $80K to be more “equitable” to what the other guy (Black) got.
No need to negotiate or nothing. Just an extra $5K for being White. Surely there is no way that a White person should make less than a Black person (even though that Black person is anticipated to provide greater incremental value based on their experience).
Then the White dude started White duding. He asked for relocation assistance to be in a timezone closer to the team (it’s a remote job). Long story short, the dude declined the offer. I was just cackling because that was what they (boss) gets for being reckless in the name of “equity.”
Normally I would speak out on this stuff, but I’m on my way out the door so ✌🏽
