Asking for raises

[LucyVanPelt]

Actually, this is starting salary.

I have recently switched to a full time job. I was offered a starting salary, which I rejected. I was then offered more, and although it's not what I wanted, it was at least better than the first offered amount. I figured that 1) with more hours, I will still make out better over all and, 2) when I prove my worth after a year, I will renegotiate for the higher salary.

Then I opened my check, and it was the original salary that I rejected. I hope that's a mistake.

I have already sent a request for clarification in writing. Ugh.

There are lots of articles out there about women asking for raises, but not getting them. Ladies and gentlemen, we need to know our worth!
