Comment on Elon Musk laid off the Tesla Supercharger team; now he’s rehiring them
applepie@kbin.social 1 month agoDid they not get severance?
I highly doubt these are generic wage slaves, I am would assume they can get jobs else where?
If they can't negotiate a fat raise under these circumstances, I am not really sure these people can negotiate at all lol

You’d be surprised how many people lack negotiation skills. They think whatever is offered is what they get. I’ve coached many coworkers on how to play hardball with a smile.

Damn right. I love my company, but we have the money to pay well. I don’t want anyone working with me who feels like they are underpaid. We moved offices and it became a much longer commute for one of our juniors. I kept harassing my manger to give him a bump for the effort. He wouldn’t have taken the job with that commute, so we had to sweeten it for him. My manager said “his review is 6 months away” and I said “it’s not a raise, it’s for the inconvenience to his life.” Got him 10%—and got none of the credit, haha. But that’s okay, I feel good.

My brother in business, I see you.
Once had to ask why the only woman our team was making significantly less. Got a shrug back from the HR director, a woman. I couldn't believe that I had to fight her to bring compensation in line.
It's not JUST the billionaires that are the problem. It's really all the people that need to feel they're somehow above others.
