工资没得商量的工作机会是否公平？

    初创公司创始人迈克尔•沃尔夫的回答

    这很常见，尤其是对于入门级工作而言

    如果你去参军，成为公务员，当警察，或者做大学教授，这些工作的薪酬都是与岗位挂钩，与人无关。你会得到与其他人相同的条件。

    许多公司也是如此。例如，我的第一份工作是在高盛公司（Goldman Sachs）。当年与我从事相同职务的大学毕业生，都收到了完全一样的条件。虽然高盛可能是世界上薪酬最高的公司，但对于刚毕业的学生而言，我们整个项目团队都领取相同的薪酬。

    如果条件不错，不妨接受它。否则，还是另谋高就吧。

    首先，放下自己的架子。工资条件不存在“公平”或者“不公平”之说，也不可能带有“侮辱性”。这只是一份工作邀请，接受与否完全由你自己把握。

    如果提出条件的公司表示，工资没有商量余地，那就接受它，因为这些工资起码能让你的生活变得更轻松。很简单，你现在有两个选择：真诚地接受这份工作，努力在这个初级岗位上做到出类拔萃；或者礼貌地拒绝，然后继续求职。没什么大不了的，也没必要过于情绪化。如果工作和薪酬都不适合你，你完全可以拒绝。如果他们不准备讨论工资问题（这在初级工作岗位上很常见），那就继续寻找其他机会，但千万不要说“不公平和侮辱性”这些愚蠢的话，断了自己的后路。

    企业家吉尼•卡利亚平的回答

    几年前，我接受了一份薪酬不容商量的工作，而且我只要了一半的工资。为什么？因为我当时只剩1,000美元，因此，必须想办法在纽约生存下去，而且在那家公司工作的经历，对我来说非常宝贵。

    虽然很难，但我还是坚持了下来。我租了一个小房间，租金360美元。我第二份工作的薪酬远远高于市场水平，我在那个大城市里过得很好。对于每一份“不公平”的工作邀请，可能会有些人希望抓住这次机会，把它作为开启辉煌事业的第一步。这是非常公平的。如果你不是我所说的“这些人”，那说明这样的工作不适合你。

    可以这样来回答你的问题：提供没有商量余地的工资，是绝对公平的。想象一下，假如对方提供了远远超出你预期的条件，比正常工资水平高出一倍，而且不容商量——这种条件是否依然不公平？

    下面，按照你的本意来回答你的问题：没错，提供非常低的工资也是公平的。这是一个供需关系决定的自由市场。你不喜欢这样的工资？那就继续找其他机会！企业要么会找到愿意接受这种条件的人，要么不得不提高条件。你的生活状况和你要支付的租金与此无关；换句话说，初级职位的工资由市场决定，而不是某个人。

    This is extremely common, especially for entry-level jobs.

    If you join the military, civil service, police force, become a professor at many schools, etc…, you will be going into a job where the salary is pegged to the job, not the person. You will receive the same offer as everyone else.

    Many corporations are the same way. For example, I started my career at Goldman Sachs GS 0.77% . Every new college grad that year in my role received identical offers. Note that this is probably the best-paying corporation in the world, but for new grads, our entire program had identical comp.

    If it is a good offer, take it. If not, look elsewhere.

    Answer by David S. Rose, entrepreneur, investor, mentor

    First of all, get off your high horse. There is nothing “fair” or “unfair” about a salary offer, nor is there any way it can be “insulting.” It is simply an offer that you are free to accept or reject.

    If the company that is offering it says that it is non-negotiable, take them at face value because they’ve just made your life a lot easier. You now have a simple, binary decision: take the job with a good heart and a desire to excel at this entry-level job, or else politely decline it and keep on looking. No big deal and no need for drama. If the combination of job and salary is not right for you,that’s perfectly OK. So if they are not prepared to negotiate (which is not at all atypical for entry level jobs) just move on, and don’t burn any bridges with silly talk about “unfair and insulting.”

    Answer by Gene Khalyapin, entrepreneur

    Years ago I accepted a non-negotiable offer at half the going rate. Why? Because I had only $1,000 and I absolutely had to find a way to survive in New York, plus experience working for that company was very valuable to me.

    It was tough but I made it work. My rent was $360 for a tiny room. My next job was well above the market rate and I did well in that great city. For every “unfair” job offer there may be somebody who would take that chance and make it a first step on the way to a brilliant career. And this is very fair. If you are not that “somebody” then this offer is not for you.

    To answer your question as it is: it is absolutely fair to offer non-negotiable salary. Imagine you are offered double the regular rate and more than you expected but they don’t negotiate – would it still be unfair?

    Now, to answer the question that you actually meant to ask: yes, it is also fair to offer a very low salary. It’s a free market driven by supply and demand. You don’t like the salary? Move on! Either they will find somebody who accepts the offer or they will be forced to raise the offer. Your living situation and your rent payment is irrelevant.
