[quote=Anonymous]So, as a woman, for the first time in my life I tried to stand up for myself and negotiate more money after receiving an offer for a new job. I thought I handled things with tact and care, and sought careful professional advice on how best to approach the negotiation (for the first time!). But all I got was attitude and a "put you in your place" approach from the employer. I feel like crying and like I was being slapped for trying to have a voice. I am a highly trained and educated professional with years of experience, and the employer is respectable organization. Anyway, I feel like there is a lot of lip-service to the whole "stand-up-for-yourself approach", but at the end of the day people really don't want women to speak up for themselves. The worst part? The people who put me in my place were also women.[/quote]
