Monday Q&A | How to negotiate a raise that reflects your value
The question for today's Monday Q&A:
"I am a news anchor and meteorologist for a local TV station in [metro area], and I’m up for contract negotiations soon! I recently found out that they are offering me just a 1% raise—and after asking some former coworkers who are no longer in TV, I see that the offer is at/just below what one woman was making 6 years ago in this same position, who had 2 years’ experience to my now 10.
We are hiring an evening news anchor and I found out that salary is more than DOUBLE what mine is for the same job in the mornings! Because I anchor & do weather (part time), I have unique abilities that others in this role didn’t (and frankly not many in the country do). They have made it abundantly clear that they know I bring the team good ratings and the community has grown to know and love me.
They also mentioned in my review earlier this week that they plan on having me do weather for noon newscasts more frequently—using this other skill of mine much more. I need guidance on what I believe to be more than just “asking for a raise”. We are talking about tens of thousands of dollars discrepancy here to bring me into an acceptable range. My emotions are still very high after hearing this news—I feel more than slighted! Thanks for taking the time to read this, and for any advice you may have!
