    Don't get too addicted to comfort. Discomfort is an asset. It can help you innovate, build mental strength and greater awareness. It can show you... that where you are isn't where you need to be. If we are honest with ourselves about expenses we all can find 1 or 2 places where we spend too much on comfort. If we choose little sacrifices now you reduce the risk of making sacrifices later in life. The only thing you can control is your own behavior. Trying to control anything beyond that is energy wasted that can be better used to focus inward. To whoever said being employed is slavery knows nothing of slavery. Its disrespectful to the truly enslaved people in the world. A job is a contract. You accept an offer. You show up and give the employer what they expect for what they offered you. If the terms of that agreement become untenable, then you are free to leave and enter into another contract with someone else. That isn't slavery, that is a choice you make.  more

  • Is this a new job and you accepted the salary upon hire, or did they reduce your salary recently? How much experience do you have in the role? How... have you succeeded in that role. Success in a role usually means you get some leverage when negotiating salary. If this is a new job, you may have experience in the role but not experience in the company. In short, they don't know you yet. So you can, get to work, prove your value and approach HR once you have accomplished something you can present to justify the bump. In the meantime, keep your resume out there and maybe something better will turn up. Not being able to save is another discussion. Most people that have decent jobs are able to save something if they live within the means of their income. So that means you need to take a hard look at your expenses. Is your car payment over 400? sell it, trade it...get that down. Make your own coffee. Don't eat out, or eat out less. Cancel some subscriptions. Control what you can more

  • I also had the same scenario at one point. Organization that do not value your contributions, never go ahead to sign acceptance letter!. Signing the... acceptance letter will really close your door for further negotiations and you look desperate and the moment an organization notice that you are desperate, that will be channel to exploit you my dear. more

  • i'd rather you start looking elsewhere while you gather some experience where you are.

  • It seems you have already accepted the job. In that case the negotiation window is closed for now. If it were open, I would look at job ads and salary... surveys to show that I am worth more. Whether I can save or make ends meet is my problem and may not influence HR.
    You can bide your time for 3 to 6 months, try for excellent reviews and then make a case for a healthy raise. Long time ago, I was able to show I was underpaid and most likely underpaid relative to my lower performing coworkers. I did receive two 10% raises one week apart. Good luck.

  • Think outside the box. There's no motivation in that organisation. Apply for employment elsewhere. However, never give a negative remark about your... current job.  more

  • Alright, thank you

  • Ask HR for their opinion, maybe their budget is already overstretched. But since you may also sound like a special case if at, they might consider... diverting some financial line to top up on your salary. But please don`t put it like a demand or a must happen, they might fire you instead. more
