[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is stating your policy "demanding"? This is business. There is nothing wrong with saying, "if I accept your position, these are my terms". This is a conversation you have before you accept any job. Do you think your MB "asked politely" for her salary and benefits, or do you think its more likely that she had an idea of what she wanted, stated it, and negotiated? [/quote] I'm an MB and no, I didn't just state what I wanted when being hired for a new job. And it's not the same thing as negotiating salary to just state/demand, whatever you want to call it, terms that aren't standard. Say I have to drive a lot for my job. I don't just tell my boss before hire, "By the way, if you want to hire me you will need to pay for my gas." You say, I'd be happy to take the job BUT it seems like a lot of driving which will be costly so unfortunately I can't accept the position unless you are able to reimburse my gas mileage." So in OP's case she should say "I'd be happy to babysit for you, however, when you get home after x time I am not comfortable taking the subway so I am unable to babysit unless you will be home before x time or if you can reimburse my cab fare if it is after x time." What she shouldn't say/demand is "I'd be happy to babysit for you but in addition to my usual hourly rate you will have to pay my cab fare." [/quote]
