    Remember that time you called up your landlord and said "You know I've lived here six months and it's even better than I could have hoped, so I'm going to ask you to raise my rent because that is just and appropriate." Oh, you never did that ever? Cool. Salaries are like that.https://twitter.com/sehurlburt/status/1017631027395612672 …

    Salary negotiation delusion I would like to tear down: “I can accept a low salary now- once they see my good work they’ll know I’m worth more and I’ll get lots then!” - Money influences perceived value - One you agree to a value, it is very hard to drastically change perception

        This is not a good analogy at all. During the term of your lease, if you are not a terrible tenant, there's no way for the landlord to kick you out therefore no reason ever for tenant to propose a rent increase during the lease term. However, employees can leave the job.

        Good bosses give their employees raises associated with key performance metrics because good employees eventually ask or look elsewhere. I have personally given raises or bonuses without it being asked of me, so even anecdotally what you wrote is not right.

        Your comparison is off, I think. Raising the rent isn't beneficial to the tenant, homeower would definitely say yes. "I've paid my rent on time for 6 months and the house is super clean. You can see I'm a good tenant. Please lower my rent now." Also doesn't happen though.

        You have the power dynamic reversed, so it’s not a great analogy.

        Very lucky with current workplace where this does happen. Just like big jumps… but definitely the exception.

        Automattic seems to do this right with a one month trial before hiring as full time.

        Untrue we raise salaries based on performance and competition. Waiting for employees to ask for more is very risky.
