If the company is committed by law to honoring a published salary range, it can't make a private exception for you even if you can show them that you bring more value to the table. That reduces your bargaining power.
- marssaxman 2y agoThat's a good thing. Individual bargaining over compensation is only good for those individuals who happen to be good at bargaining, not for the employer nor the other employees. Most of us never have to dicker about money in the course of our work, so it's not actually a skill worth paying extra for; an employer who nevertheless pays a premium for good bargainers it doesn't need will conversely tend to undercompensate everyone else, which is bad for cohesion and retention.
