It’s Time For Another Installment Of Everything I Know About Feminism I Learned From Reading Bossy.

Because women typically get paid only 77-cents for every dollar made by a man, Bossy offers these 7 tips for securing that company raise!

1. Be confident.

2. Find out the going rate in your field and ask for a salary in the high range since that number may be negotiated down but seldom up.

3. Don’t be discouraged by a “no” which often simply means “not now.” Try again.

4. Consider other forms of compensation — like profit sharing, paid time off, and tuition reimbursement.

5. Renegotiate from a position of power when you have other offers on the table.

6. Prepare a thorough defense regarding your particular value within your company.

7. A blow job never killed anyone.

   Would these tips work for a gay man too?

   Remind me only to have men for bosses because there is NO way I’m going downstairs on a woman! (Sorry.)

    Just remember to use your blow job card sparingly. I find being the company whore pushes you further down the social stratum.

    My friend Chubby Rosenberg died of a blow job. His cholesterol was 408 and he was 475 lbs. But on the death certificate it did say “cause of death blow job”
