Great Advice. A+. His original answer probably answered the question better. The answer he gave for the question he was asked was very appropriate. The "Do it anyways" response that was given by Maria doesn't answer the question, it avoids the topic all together and doesn't help the person for whom its an actual problem.
- brandonmenc 12y agoI'm not saying that merely asking for raises will close the wage gap, but since when did "if you're uncomfortable doing something you should be comfortable doing, you need to force yourself to start doing it" become bad advice?
- gohrt 12y agoMaria gave some useful advice: she said to role-play a negotiation. Satya said, "you are getting paid enough, don't worry about it", which isn't true for most women and isn't true for most men either. (But may be more true for some men, men who already figured out how to ask for a raise.)
