This review is related to the initial interview process with HR.

Dislikes

Initial interview with HR was chokingly disrespectful. HR representative was abrupt and inflexible. The tone of her voice and her overall communication style were passive aggressive. She indicated that per MERCK policy she will not share nor communicate any salary/compensation information and she "demanded" from the candidate to provide that information instead. - definitely a turn off. Will not join.

New Job, Higher Pay, Now I’m Feeling Awkward

I’ve been at my new job for about six months now, and everything’s been going great! I’m getting positive feedback from my manager, and I get along well with the team. The thing is, when I started, my salary offer ended up being much higher than the initial number discussed during my interview. I didn’t negotiate and just accepted the offer. So, fast forward to happy hour with the team, and the topic of salary comes up. I, unfortunately, shared what I’m making, and let’s just say... it didn’t sit well with the others who have been on the team for years and make less than me. They weren’t mad at me, but now I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable and unsure how to handle this situation. Has anyone had something like this happen? How did you deal with it? Let’s chat!
