  • my recent job is offering me a lower salary though i have an experience in the role. calculating my day-today- expenditure means that i can't save. any advise on how to persuade the HR to do something...

    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
