It’s Hard to Fix. https://www.evilhrlady.org/2017/04/women-ask-for-lower-salaries-its-hard-to-fix.html Everything to make HR better Sat, 22 Apr 2017 14:37:40 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.4 By: Semi-evil Tech Manager https://www.evilhrlady.org/2017/04/women-ask-for-lower-salaries-its-hard-to-fix.html#comment-209110 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 14:37:40 +0000 https://www.evilhrlady.org/?p=4315#comment-209110 Here’s a little secret…

In many cases assuming the salary budget is flexible and not fixed, a company will be influenced by the salary requirement and then try to pay a little as they think they can get away with near that number – REGARDLESS of gender.

The old saying of “Don’t sell yourself short” is so very true.

I’m a hiring manager in tech of many years and approve this message.

I feel it is probably because of their mother’s influence of having been a working mother with or without the support of male parent in household. The earlier generations of working women had to compromise to maintain jobs even when doing so- called male only jobs. What has been forgotten over time is that as people get more education, no job is limited to what sex the person is, but rather how well the person can do the job, including those that require physical strength. Unfortunately we still have the prejudice view of women’s place is to not need a job because she can be better supported by the male.
