This kinda happened to me at a workplace.
I tried to negotiate my salary when I began and they said they don't negotiate salaries because people of color and women are disproportionately less likely to negotiate than White men who benefit from the practice. And I'm like, but... I'm a person of color?? They wouldn't hear any of it. One of the worst jobs I've ever had.
"So what you're saying is, we should all negotiate for our salaries together? What a great idea!"
That's exactly the proper response. If you can't negotiate individually, because it's "bad for the individuals," then negotiate collectively - "for the good of the company."
