I've been stewing over this a bit. I work for a nonprofit with limited benefits and no real retirement, but they've always been good to me (is hour flexibility, etc)
Recently, I was offered a promotion to a director position. My boss and I had a meeting and went over specifics and all seemed good. I've done this job before and would be a good move up.
However, when we broached salary she stated there would be a "adjustment," but wouldn't give specifics. I'm pretty certain she wanted me to commit to it before I even knew the salary.
I told her I felt like I was worth high $60s, which is approximately 10% less than than the person in that role (which I quietly found out beforehand). I mentioned that I had a similar job offer from another company for around $60k that I turned down. And we'd be saving $13k on my replacement. So all in all should be at least $10k savings. But she wants to base it on a % bump from my current much lower salary, rather than what the job actually should pay.
She instantly quit talking, almost like she felt betrayed by even asking for a higher salary. It's been awkward around the office for the 48 hours since.
Anyone else been in this situation?
