> People who are willing to negotiate should get a higher salary.

Why? What is the merit? Do you infer they will perform better because they are good negotiators?

Because everyone should have the right to try and extract as much wealth as they can from a company who is extracting as much value as they can from an employee.

Because they won’t take the job otherwise.

If you want them to work there, then you need to match their requirements.

You could also give everyone else a pay rise every time you struggle to fill a position I suppose.

They are just upfront about how much "requirements" can be met. They don't waste anybody's time if someone seeks hidden salary ranges.

Right... but if you just refuse to meet people's requirements then you won't be able to hire them, or you're only be able to hire desperate people with no other options. Surely this is damaging to your business, and the careers and equity of everyone working there.
