How to deal with the grudged HR manager? [closed]

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I just have started a new position. Prior to it, during the interviews, HR had tried to offer a lower salary than I was willing to accept. Although I had been told by the HR that they could not offer the figure i was asking for (and been told "best of luck"), one week later hiring manager called me, and accepted my offer.

Yesterday, i saw the HR manager on my way out from the office and tried to say hi, but she gave me a really really cold hi.

I believe she resents that i got the job out of their planned offer scale. How can i deal out with the situation, immediately, so that my career progress not likely to be hindered?

In the short term do a great job and show to everyone that you are worth every penny (or local equivalent) they are paying you.

After you have demonstrated your worth and you have been there a while talk to your manager about whether a change of tile or level would be appropriate. This could put you in a salary range which doesn’t break HR’s guidelines. This may require you to take on more and/or different responsibilties.
