'I told [them] a 15k salary increase': Employee and boss get into heated salary negotiation after boss demands five days a week in the office
No one ever said that new office policies wouldn't be met with a little pushback, especially when it comes to in-person work. We all know that return-to-work policies should be delicately handled in a way that, at the very least, feels like a suitable compromise between the employer and the employee. Unfortunately, that compromise rarely happens; instead, we as employees often are expected to take these new strict policies in stride. Thankfully, every so often, someone finds an opportunity to turn lemons into lemonade.

This thread was posted to Reddit by u/DankChickyNuggs, who was asked what it would take to get him to agree to come into the office five days a week after working hybrid for quite some time. OP decided to use this opportunity to reopen the discussion regarding his salary. Essentially, he asked for a $15K raise in order to get him to accept the new in-person work policies. His boss ended up coming back to him with a $10K offer, which OP was not willing to accept. To make matters worse for everyone involved, none of these discussions have been committed to writing, which got folks in the comments aggravated.
