Agreeing on a lowball salary is not a smart move for the employer either: it does not motivate high performance or ensure commitment, but instead the employee will be constantly looking for a new job.

Our studies have demonstrated that salaries remain a taboo subject at many workplaces. For this reason, many people might find themselves at a loss when they are asked to make a salary request as they are offered a promotion or seeking a new job.
