Good article. This shit played out in my last corporate job (hopefully ever), where I was the highest paid worker-bee in the department because I had the iron balls to negotiate like a champ when they offered me the job. I came one hair short of being told to fuck off before accepting the job grudgingly.
Same here. In every company I worked for so far in USA I always got four week paid vacation. Apparently it is much easier to negotiate a longer vacation than extra $10K in salary. Then the guys ask how come I got four weeks, and my question was, like, did you ever ask? and they always say "no". Well, it is like sex - if you ask, you may or you may not get one. But if you don't ask, you won't get one for sure. No surprise.
