Salary negotiations
You have been selected in a well known organization. The HR has sent you an offer letter and you will be on probation for one year.
You request the company to waive off probation period since you have twelve years of industry experience. The CHRO agrees and sends you a revised offer. You revert back that salary is lower than expected. Your new boss fights for you and gets you an increase.
The HR now asks you to confirm the joining date. You request for joining bonus. The HR tells you they will revert. In coming days, you get a letter informing you that they have withdrawn the offer.
What in your opinion went wrong?

Negotiation is an important life skill
We negotiate most of our waking hours. We negotiate with our team members, colleagues, bosses and vendors at work, with our kids, spouse and parents at home. We negotiate during buying or selling of an asset e.g. house, car and also conflict resolution and during salary negotiations. Negotiation is an important life skill and it contributes to our success.
If we do not negotiate well or don’t negotiate at all then there is a big chance that we are going to leave money on the table, which could have been ours. We often don’t negotiate because we feel it is inappropriate or feel uncomfortable and fear it.
“You don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate.” Chester Karrass
