I hate salary negotiations. I'm just not good at them. Especially when I'm forced to do it on the phone. Right now I'm earning a good chunk less than my coworkers with same or lower working experience and it's slightly annoying. On the other side I know of a really good coworker that earns even less than me. I'm a strong supporter of open salaries. Don't give people who can negotiate better more but implement a system that applies to everyone the same. Take seniority into account, work experience, a base and calculate the salary of every engineer based on that. Fair and open.
