“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.

Always. No, your company is not an exception.

You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.

Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]
