What are some of the things you are seeing being asked for during employee negotiations. I'm sure COLA is top of lists. What COLA numbers are you seeing if that is one of them?

I haven't been doing any negotiations lately, but if I did the only thing I think I'd be really concerned about would be job security. And as we all know, that can be a complicated subject. I'm not even in the federal system and I feel like things could go upside down. I've got more anxiety now than I did in the private sector.

smart

Most negotiations are over or coming up in the next year. Just getting insight of what might have come up this last go around and maybe talks of what might be coming up.

Did you mean to post this in the "government" section? Federal Government employees don't negotiate salary each year. They may in state/local government depending upon the state and the budget process. Often, when negotiating a salary increase, you aren't discussing COLA, but an increase based on what you have accomplished in the previous year. In my experience, COLA is an across-the-board increase and is often set within the budget process.

smart

COLA? Employee negotiations? You can do that? We cannot unionize. Haven't had a COLA in a decade or more. Went several years without raises too

How the heck can I teach a kindergartener over the computer? It's all hands on in my class for the first couple of months. I have made and bought so many manipulatives but I can't send twenty home with the kiddos. When we do go back to in person learning they want to separate my kiddoes into two groups and I have to move between the two classes to teach. I'll be hauling my stuff on a cart to each class! I'm overwhelmed at the thought of all this.

The single session is all I'm asking but could certainly turn into a longer lasting coaching relationship (at no cost), if you like.

My partner got a City of Toronto offer. Salary band is 104-121k. HR asked for his expectations and he said 115k. HR came back with a 106k offer stating nobody on the team makes that much so they cant offer it. Also said she is unsure if there is any wiggle room if any at all. I’ve looked at everyone on the team with the same titles salary on the sunshine list and the lowest I see is 121k. I assume there is an OT component of some sort but also can’t confirm. Thoughts? /negotiating advice?
