The Salary Line
You learn that a colleague doing the same work earns far less than you. Your manager offers to raise their pay only if your next raise is cut in half. Nobody else will know what you chose.
Would you give up half your raise?
Then ask
- How much money would you give up in pounds or dollars?
- Whose pay have you avoided asking about?
- If fairness matters to you, why have you left your own salary out of it?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
