Yes it does seem the more you ask for, the more respect you receive.
It may have appeared to them you did not respect your own financial needs, and if you don't, why should they?
- MichaelCrawford 12y agoIn reality I do respect my own financial needs: I am happiest when I live in a very modest way.
- vpeters25 12y agoMy point of view is you should ask for the value you provide your employer, not just your financial needs. In my case the value I provide is 3+ times my financial needs so that's what I ask and they happily pay based on the quality of my services. The rest goes to fund my retirement fund and pay off the remaining debts from that crazy dot-com era (strippers and booze, fun times)
- meric 12y agoWould you donate $10,000 to a random business off the street to help them out? Because that's all they will be once you leave that company. I suggest offering to take more options in lieu of cash if you want to help the company hire more people. If the company can't survive paying you a market salary that is due you, it doesn't deserve to survive at all. You are important, don't sell yourself short.
