Women Don't Ask: Some Key Differences Between Men and Women at Work Two quick personal stories. On Christmas Eve a few years ago my fellow and I were shopping for a piece of jewelry for me. We selected a piece and then my fellow asked the salesman if it would be going on sale after Christmas. The salesman confirmed that it was. My fellow then asked if the salesman would honor the sales price that evening and when he got a yes answer, he bought it then and there. What surprised me the most is the idea that he would ask for an early sale, just because he wanted a sale, and that he could get the sales price... Why do women sit back and wait for fair compensation, while men ask frequently? Women tend to sit back and wait for their bosses to notice and reward them fairly. They collect experiences, skills and accomplishments and wonder why they are not rewarded with more money. They often either stay with an organization and fall behind or they give up and leave for another opportunity...

Women were more likely to be hired when they showed "communal" behavior.... How To Win During The Initial Salary Negotiation In my years in Human Resources, I occasionally got involved in recruiting.

How to Further Close the Gap - Winning with Choices Many people out there argue that there is no true gap, and that any difference is really caused by the choices women make. And they do have a point to some extent.
