Some people are afraid to ask so they dont, then they complain about not getting ... its an easy concept though lots of people dont understand this ... including me until about a couple of years back.
We are grumbling and disgruntled in the office, unhappy cause we think we are underpaid, we wonder why we are underpaid and usually the answer its pretty easy, its cause we just didnt ask :)
I remember thinking a few years ago (possibly as a result of the dot com bust) that if i was offered a job i should take it and not question the money (yes i know ... i was dumb). The reason why i attribute it to the dot com bust is i graduated from uni around that era (2 years or so after) and the competition for jobs was huge cause no one was hiring. I remember when i was a grad it would be 500 grads to 4 jobs and if you were offered you should just take it.
Times have changed now and i have learnt alot over time. Now not only do i cry .. i also jump up and down, roll on the groud in circles and throw tantrums, so to speak ;) and yes it seems to work :P
At the moment im negotiating a 4 day week (doing infrastructure architect role *thank god*) with good contract rates and a great working environment. I am doing this so that i have time on my hands (albeit abit less) for my startup as time is drawing near. This deal is still under negotiations so lets hope my tantrums are enough to seal the deal ....
