@@christopherjoyce9788 Speaking of honesty. Companies want high qualfied staff for the price of an uneducated temp. People don't invest time and money to get qualified for nothing.
@@christopherjoyce9788 Thinking the same thing. She sounds like a narcissist, I dont care if shes worth 200k. "you have 48 hours i know my worth" is that why you're unemployed?
This actually happened to me. I work in the environmental field and have multiple certifications that are wide apart from the normal, and I speak 2 languages. From the job description, I knew it would be tough for the company to fill the role, but I fit the job description perfectly and had all the certifications, education, and experience. The interview went swimmingly; at the end, the two interviewers were my new BFFs! Then we talked about pay. They asked what I expected. I said boldly $6X... They looked around and said well, this position pays $4x. I reminded them that the skill set they are asking for is normally not filled by a single person but normally a team in our field. So they could hire me that fits the bill, or hire 3-4 people that have each Cert. and/or experience at 2-4 times the cost. I then left the interview. I got a call before I even got home. We then negotiated about a company car (because I cover a big area) and cell/laptop. In the end, I got everything I wanted.
She needs to bust out the 4 square and talk about financing options if the company wants to buy all the qualifications but can't quite afford it pay it all up front
I can kind of relate. the worst manager I've ever had, had the audacity to do many things that are unethical and wrong. she said it in front of staff how she wanted to change my pay structure. and with that, when things went wrong, not if, when s*** hit the ceiling and I wasn't on the clock, or if I was and not in that "position" I was not helping, and I never did. you treat me that way, you get what you pay for. when the building was struck by lightning and it messed up one of the movie projectors, I was off the clock, someone called me and I didn't answer. not my problem at that point.
And the company are still dealing with the second-rate low-effort quality of work they receive from that lower paid and over-worked employee who verges on burnout all the time.
"Grateful"? Is the company grateful to have a highly qualified person willing to join the staff? 🙄. Employees are always better off declining lowball offers if they are in a position to do so.
It's a hard sell. Last time I wanted my qualifications represented fairly in my wage, they didn't hire me, but the one they took left the company pretty fast. In the next interview (different company), I wanted less than my actual worth and they declined because "if you sell yourself short, then you will do the same with us". And yes, I did my homework and researched both companies. Fact is, worth is subjective. Everyones financial and emotional investment in their education was different. Even hard facts concerning the price of education will be viewed differently by people. There is no golden rule that works every time. There are only your principles, luck and that you sit across the right person, at the right time. We have less control over everything than we thought we do. My career got pretty much killed during Covid. I'm struggling.
@@BusArch42 When there are many companies looking for someone like you, you can threaten them to reject and work for their rivals. But the situation is the opposite, a few companies and too many people looking for jobs.
@@ElInventor agreed. I am a scarce resource and I am aware of it. My work is petrified of my leaving at this point. I’m almost tempted to see how far I could push things. My spouse is retiring next spring and his functional level is so high his boss isn’t even trying to replace him. They politely asked him to try to figure out how to distribute his responsibilities to prevent chaos when he’s gone. They don’t bother telling us what to do anymore. That stopped ages ago. It’s more of a, hey that’s a really bad mess over there. Would you be interested in cleaning it up? We are crazy well paid though to be honest. It still blows me away.
Been in this position and just said no thank you. And when they decided to make an acceptable offer…I already had another job. Corporations DO NOT CARE about you. Know your worth and do what is best for you
"That's fine, we'll find someone else... Thank you for your time" Veronica, there's a shit load of people with those qualification... and more... and are willing to work for a little less.
