[@zipity2782]

The gender pay gap is created both by a cultural view on what a women should do after having kids, and what women do to take in the role of a mom; why women with the same degrees and background are paid less each year after childbirth, which is why women without kids are paid practically the same as men. It’s not about how confident they are or agreeable, that is demeaning and pushing on misogyny. He is giving bad advice and statistically wrong advice, because if they ever have kids it won’t matter how agreeable they are or not.

[@kathrynkearney2847]

​@@zipity2782 What makes you so confident to assert that women are just as agreeable as men when literally ALL of the psychological data out there shows that women are more agreeable? In order to hold your viewpoint you therefore have to assert then also that you don't believe in psychology or science. So explain yourself.

[@abu8615]

@@zipity2782 you are half right. the pay gap is largely influenced by the fact that women have children. egalitarian cultural views actually have a NEGATIVE association with pay equality, so you're also half wrong. but I also don't see an argument here. the pay gap can be influenced by the biological role of motherhood AND average difference in agreeableness. the only thing I think we disagree on is the cultural association you claim to correlate with the pay gap, which it doesn't, so there's really no argument here. thanks for your opinion!

Schools and universities should offer negotiation classes and the comprehensive psychology that drives it. Everyone is different and the territory between agreeableness/disagreeableness is very nuanced from person to person and it's not a one-size-fits-all formula. Students/people may lack self knowledge and don't practice negotiation on an individual level. It's similar to learning an instrument but with the skills of debate. Trial and error is ok when you're learning but dangerous to attempt when your trying to survive in the real world.

I don't remember who but a CEO of a huge company said a tactic to also use when asking for a raise (if salary) is to ask for a weird number. If you make 68k for instance, and ask for 74k, they'll drop that to 70k in an instant, whereas let's say you instead ask for $74,437, for whatever reason dropping that down to 70k seems like too much, so they may drop it down 74k due to that. maybe 73 if reaching, but in the majority of cases they won't drop it down to 70k.

[@MorseCodeStutters]

This is kinda what I did naturally when I was asked to stay permanently for a contract job. I negotiated for $2 more per hour and ended up getting $1.50 instead. I knew to aim high and not mind a scale back in my request. It's interesting because despite being new and under qualified, I ended up making more than the woman who trained me. She's been there longer than me AND has the college degree for the job while I didn't. This woman in particular was very agreeable and I just don't see her seeming confident enough to ask for a pay raise even though imho think she deserves way more than what she's getting. Another thing is that I wasn't very good at the job at the beginning, I made a ton of mistakes, but me being there despite the mistakes was more valuable than me not being there at all. Especially when I DID end up getting better at the job, partly thanks to being more motivated thanks to the pay raise, even if for a little while. I was too valuable to not appease.

This is true. I have gotten many raises and promotions simply by acting as if I was going to be walking out the door. The trick is not to "act" at all though. You actually have to be willing to leave if you are not given what you asked for. Same goes for getting the job in the first place. I have always found interviews to be fairly simple. I pretend in my mind that the job is already mine and that this is more of a performance review. You basically have to cultivate a persona lacking in any fear of unemployment and with the mindset that you are valuable. Easier said than done I suppose if you lack meaningful skills. Anyway. always remember that your employer isn't a benevolent entity that gives you money for no reason. They give you money because you are creating value for them, and when you realize that they are probably taking advantage of you to a grotesque degree it becomes easier to walk in the office with your dick swinging around and ask for what you deserve.

My experience with jobs and working is to prove yourself without question and work hard. Keep everything totally unemotional and even robotic after you’ve proved yourself. Never break or snap but plant a seed that you aren’t content without saying it after directly mentioning you “require” a raise. Throw the ball into your bosses lap and move on.

Its quite interesting, on the other hand in my company they have premade windows how much they are allowed and when they can give you a payraise.

[@tylerdurden639]

*Never ask for a raise. Just get it from your next employer.* Every employer will pay the absolute minimum they can to retain the best people they can for the money. EVERY EMPLOYEE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION! The reason people make different amounts for the same job is because the higher paid employee can make a better case for their pay rate being higher. If you go in and ask for a raise, you are showing weakness and disloyalty to the employer. You are saying you value money more than the job you are doing. If the company values you as an employee, they will have a well defined raise structure set in place. If they do not, at a minimum, have a yearly cost of living raise AND a yearly performance evaluation in place, then you never mattered to them in the first place, nor did any of their other employees and you're better off seeking employment elsewhere anyway.

If a persons enters work with this attitude, the boss will kept looking for their in-aptitude and fire them when they can no longer keep up to the task. You know those people that the company keeps sending to training and keeps advancing. (They first showed that they wanted the work.)

[@realistic.optimist]

powerfully and resolutely. NEVER accept a counter offer. Many employers will wait and then let the employee go. Employers have fragile self images and want to show others how much control they have. You take an offer, accept, and give your notice. Your current employer says No, no, no... here is another $20,000/year and an extra week of vacation (too good to be true) because they know in three to six months they are going to sack you. People do not leave companies they leave managers. Ask yourself if you like your employer but not your boss. Transfer to another department - that will one day look good to another company. If it really is your boss AND your company, move on.

I moved up in my company from a medical assistant to a registered nurse. The plan was to train me but my boss refused giving me a raise. On the day before I was to start training I emailed her with the pay range for RN’s in my area and asked For a raise. I got it. I had been told many times by my boss and hers that I was an asset to the company and a great employee but they were unwilling to show it with pay. I showed them that a fair wage was expected and I would have undoubtedly quit if it hadn’t been granted.

[@TheScienceofnature]

Actually wage increases in an economy has nothing to do with assertiveness, or individual behavior. Its to do with the economy, particularly the labour force. The more people there are who can do your job, the less money you can earn and the less likely you are going to get a pay rise. Immigration and women's participation in the work force has depressed wages, and increased aggregate demand. On one hand you are going to have to suck it up and accept less money for more work. You don't like it? there are tens if not hundreds of other people willing to do your job for less. Secondly, your expenses are going up because more people consume more, so your electricity, water, food, rent, house process, everything is going to be more expensive. On the other hand the wealthiest people in the economy are better off because they can sell less goods for more money and its going to cost them less to make as well. The outcome, is inequality rising exponentially unless the government steps in to correct these inefficiencies. Which is why wealthy people keep emphasizing how government is bad, because a government that intervenes is going to limit their monopoly over society.

[@jake1996able]

Thumb up for this perfect thumbnail

[@icawn]

I've had 6 managers in 15 years after college (corporate environment): 3 of them made uninformed decisions and biased judgements, as well as showed little interest in hearing the details of the effort made that would otherwise prove and justify a merit increase. 1 actually listened and provided feedback---but ultimately only focused on their own progression. 1 was somewhere in the middle. Regardless, with each new manager, it seemed like starting all over again in terms of proving yourself. Because most of them weren't really listening nor cared, it truly was starting over. Despite their level of consideration and concern for their employees (well, at least for me and what I could perceive over time around me), somehow every manager was still promoted to the next level of management within the standard 2-3 year timeframe. Any additional time and effort made by a good manager was not met with additional reward. I've found this to be the norm, not the rare exception. It is a terrible reality that feels impossible to change without a top-down approach from the very top, and it isn't magically incentivised from anywhere in the middle. It certainly isn't incentivised organically via bottom-up through human integrity and good concience. Upper management dolts, identify better employees for the development and management tracks. Yes I said it. You're a bunch of dolts, who might actually benefit your companies through regular doses of undercover bossing, and an accompanying spine, to obtain actual truth, rather than making decisions based on the bullshit you're fed by your direct reports, who you've ignorantly incentivised and groomed to become good at spinning failures as victores in your progress update sessions. Well, I suppose you weren't an originating founder and see retirement approaching before long, so who gives a damn, right?

Describing a problem is a good first step. Finding a solution to a problem properly identified is the tricky part. The truth about pay raises is that we are all competing for scarce resources. Best way to get a raise in pay is to go make more money. If you bring in $10 million dollars to a company that only earns $2 million dollars you have a really good chance of getting a nice raise.

[@ernestayo6131]

By all means have higher comparable salaries available, which can be verified, to support your argument. But more importantly, have another job contract ready to sign on elsewhere or 3 months expenses in the bank until you find another position. You can’t really negotiate unless you are in a position to tell them to go to hell. But NEVER say that. Always write a letter to ur boss & HR thanking them for the opportunity of working there, but have an opportunity that can’t be passed up. Keep a copy. Any company hiring you will check previous employers for referrals.
