[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Exactly this. Salary history creates a vicious cycle, particularly for women. Women are also at a disadvantage at the beginning of the cycle, as[b] we are taught to take what's offered and not negotiate[/b]; negotiations themselves can be seen as a negative when coming from a woman. These are all things that need to change when talking about salaries. [/quote] taught? [/quote] In the colloquial sense, yes. Of course, no one ever sits us down and explicitly tells us not to negotiate. But there are culturally implicit things that girls are "supposed to do" that are antithetical to negotiation: be quiet, accept what's offered, not argue, etc. There have been lots of articles about this recently, particularly about the impulse to apologize for everything. Here's a tongue-in-cheek blog post that illustrates what I'm talking about: http://everydayfeminism.com/2016/08/non-threatening-leadership-women/[/quote]
