Salary Negotiation or a Crime?
Why do some HRs act like negotiating salary is an unforgivable sin? Got selected for a new role, going through the onboarding process, and I simply asked them to reassess my offer based on my latest increment letter. You know, something completely normal in the professional world.
Next thing I know, the HR manager is calling me unprofessional for even bringing it up. Excuse me? Since when is wanting fair compensation a crime? It almost makes me wonder do they get a bonus for every LPA they manage to shave off a new hire’s salary? Because the way they react, you’d think I just insulted their entire lineage.
Negotiation is a standard part of hiring. Companies expect employees to give their 100%, but when it comes to paying fairly, suddenly we’re the bad guys? Someone explain this logic to me.

It’s crazy how some HRs react to salary negotiations. Have you ever experienced anything like this before, or was this the first time you’ve felt this kind of pushback?

Negotiating your salary is definitely a part of the hiring process, but some HRs take it personally. What do you think could be done to create a healthier negotiation environment for both parties?

It’s wild how companies expect top performance but hesitate to pay for it. Do you think this issue is more common in certain industries or companies, or is it just the norm in corporate culture?

HR's reaction seems a bit extreme! Do you think they might have been taken aback because they weren't expecting a negotiation, or do you think it reflects their broader attitude toward compensation?

It’s frustrating when your request for fair pay is met with such resistance. Have you had any successful experiences negotiating your salary in the past, or has it usually been met with negativity?

I’ve noticed that some companies make negotiations feel like a battle. How can job seekers balance advocating for fair pay without crossing the line into unprofessionalism in the eyes of HR?

It’s baffling how salary discussions can become such a sensitive topic. Do you think HR departments need more training on handling negotiations or do you think it’s just about company culture?
