I confess that I lack that soft skill of salary negotiation 😟. After passing multiple stages of interviews, when a candidate has lost almost his self-respect to prove his worth, 🥺 the negotiation phase arrives. I hardly bargain while purchasing so Negotiation is a hard job 😤 for me.
While purchase, I understand the seller keeps some margin of benefit for himself, so I should not ask much less price to him. He also has to earn bread and butter😮 and even the seller allows us to purchase at much lesser prices. But in Corporate World, it is the Seller’s market. 😎 The employer has a lot of candidates in a pool and a plethora of talent available. I saw one ad offering 0.06 cents per word 🧐 and many have applied. Nothing to amaze, now in a few countries Oil is than water! 😐
HR practitioners seem to have a background in Vegetables wholesale market 🍆. Many companies ask about salaries of past, current, and expected. HR officials might be running their side hustle of providing data to marketing companies 😎. When a candidate has passed the required exams and interviews as per job requirements, offer him/her salary package as per the company pay scale.💰 Salary negotiation proofs that the company has weak Standards of operations (SOPs) and do not have a standard set of policies and procedures in place or the company is also suffering in covid days.
Yes, it is the universal truth that Salary packages are biased because of many reasons. In many countries, women🤵♀️ are paid less than men but I do not believe 🤥 that they are promoted during their probation period. Nepotism is cancer 🦀 in any industry and indirectly affects Employees’ productivity.
Sadly, It is been observed that Internationally Salary is offered based on passport colour (Nationality).🏞️ This is a reason that many Asians tend to obtain the nationality of western & European countries and prefer to work in the Middle East to earn luxury life. Their brown 🤎 and yellow 💛 race peers, (who have only one native nationality) jealous of them because they do the same job but with less money 💸. Thanks to God that nature distributed all human parts (heart, kidney, liver, and …🤔) equally to all mankind without any discrimination. 🙏
How I do a Job ? 😄
