“Women don’t get raises, the conventional wisdom goes, because they simply don’t ask.A new study conducted by LeanIn.Org and McKinsey & Co. casts doubt on that assumption. Women are in fact negotiating for raises and promotions just as much as their male counterparts and, at the senior levels, at even higher rates, according to survey results from 70,000 men and women.
That isn’t the end of the story, though. The data also shows that negotiation carries a special risk for women. Women who do seek a raise or promotion are more likely to receive feedback that they are “bossy,” “intimidating” or “aggressive,” compared with women who don’t negotiate and men who do. (Male employees are also more likely than women to report that they got a raise without asking, or didn’t ask for one because they were already being well compensated.)
