If you have leverage with your employer you should use it to demand more money. Don't let other people bully you into wasting your negotiating capital on their pet causes.
- Barrin92 6y agoNot being bullied by anyone and I've got enough money. Which was sort of my point. Tech workers are generally speaking financially secure enough to actually use their negotiating capital for something that's important to them. Money is the lowest form of compensation, it doesn't really matter once you have enough to put food on the table and pay rent. Self-realisation is more important and a lot of people in particular at tech companies haven't fully realised yet how much influence they could have if they're smart about it.
