Living in a highly sought-after area is a luxury and people who forgo luxuries to save money should not be subsidizing their coworkers who do not. Should your coworker that just bought a Lamborghini get a raise to compensate for their costs too?
- austhrow743 5y agoMy coworker should get whatever raise they can successfully negotiate. Buying an expensive luxury car is probably the kind of lifestyle event that prompts a lot of people to think “I could do with more money” and campaign for a raise. So kind of but not really. As for whether you should subsidise someone, if it makes you more money overall then of course you should. Regardless of what luxuries they have.
- medvezhenok 5y agoI think ideally we move away from the whole "negotiating for a raise" idea since that advantages people who are low in agreeableness (and exacerbates gender pay ratios). We should have open pay scales by position with well-defined criteria for bonus / raises. Negotiation should have little to do with it, ideally.
