Hello,
First time poster to Mumsnet here - thanks in advance for any advice. I’m a few weeks away from taking mat leave - my first baby. My company is in the final throes of hiring a man who comes highly recommended. This man won’t join us on a contract position though - only permanent. I’ve been verbally assured my job is safe and that if anything I will manage him. I’ve interviewed this man and we graduated the same year, similar degrees and career paths but if anything my experience is better than his - I am not boasting - it truly is. However my boss mistakenly forwarded on an email chain which states that my replacement wants a salary 10K more than mine. This is apparently not a problem and they are continuing the negotiation this week. I’m certain I need to flag I’ve read this and that I find it concerning but I’m also - sorry - in hot angry tears about it. Context - I moved cities and needed a job so took a major pay cut for this one - I was undergoing IVF and my priority was and is the baby we are so lucky to finally (nearly) have. So I took it on the chin. But this feels like this bloke waltzes in and commands 10K more than me? And will be permanent? Is this ok? I really appreciate any advice / thanks in advance.
