This is a question for bosses & employees alike, and I haven't really found good answers thus far online so curious to know everyone's experience.
For those with spouses/kids, has being the sole provider vs. being in a two-income family ever played into salary negotiations – either
- (for bosses) when assessing raises/setting salary for new or current hires, or
- (for your own salary) when requesting raises or negotiating salary at a new job?
Thinking along the lines of a single mom or dad or someone whose spouse doesn't work outside the home (stay at home mom or dad) being able to negotiate higher salary based on them being the sole provider.
