You see how I'm...

I'm opening up a blank canvas.

Is there a chance?

I love that phrase too.

Is there a way?

Is there room for?

Is there a chance?

So let's play it out.

Let's say I'm you, you're the supervisor and I approach you when there is time for it and it's not something that's rushed and I say, I'd like to talk to you about something that's important to me and I need to know something first.

Is there room for us to have a conversation about my compensation that is separate from the relationship that you and I have and that we're continuing to build?

Period.

Or I guess a question mark.

So that is very out in front.

seems also very fair.

Hey, they should be able to separate compensation from relationship to say, hey, this is my security, my compensation, and how I feel valued versus what I know you already and I have, whether it's camaraderie and what we're trying to build, because what you don't want is the money thing to go sour.

That's one approach.

Number two, let's talk about timing.

Most people feel like they need to have these compensation conversations in just one conversation.

Meaning we need to talk about my salary right now.

And if you don't give me an answer and the answer that I want, the fear from them is that you're gonna leave.
