MODERATORS
This kinda happened to me at a workplace.
I tried to negotiate my salary when I began and they said they don't negotiate salaries because people of color and women are disproportionately less likely to negotiate than White men who benefit from the practice. And I'm like, but... I'm a person of color?? They wouldn't hear any of it. One of the worst jobs I've ever had.
They won't negotiate your salary for your own good. That's some 1984 doublespeak for you right there.
"So what you're saying is, we should all negotiate for our salaries together? What a great idea!"
That's exactly the proper response. If you can't negotiate individually, because it's "bad for the individuals," then negotiate collectively - "for the good of the company."
"It would actually be racist of us to pay you more."
Lmfao gotta love woke oppression
It's corpo socialism using woke talking points as a cudgel.
This is like how car dealers have a no haggle policy and act like that's a good thing.
The first time I heard that years ago, I was astonished. Who would accept such a thing?
"Buying a car is easy at RipOff Motors! You just pay the sticker price, no haggling! Isn't that GREAT!"
I'm showing up on the 28th of the month with the dealer cost in mind, and a willingness to pay 10% above that. If you don't want to haggle, I'll just go to one of the 20 other dealerships within a 30 minute drive.
