Don't Be A Dumb*ss

from Life, Lemons & LemonDrops · host Greer McVay & Whitnie Wiley

You've been there. Applying for a job is stressful. Getting an offer is exciting. Then comes the difficult part of negotiating your salary and benefits. How do you place a price on valuing your contribution to the company without pricing yourself out of the job or underselling yourself and leaving money on the table.  In this episode of Life, Lemons & LemonDrops, Greer and Whitnie discuss the negotiations involved in your value in the workplace and the actual pay you receive. Using a recent example of an HR Director who bragged on social media about paying an employee the $85K/yr she requested versus the $130K the position was budgeted for, the discussion was a deep dive into the myriad nuances involved in determining a fair salary, when there’s little transparency. Listen to the conversation and share your thoughts.
