So she would never let me discuss money (or scrub floors - can't eat off my floors). I did poorly at negotiations, until I started speaking of myself in the third person, and that is how I did it. I fought for that person (me) who worked for me. How well did that work, I had one woman boss who complained I was too concerned about money, and one year I negotiated a raise that was higher than what she was making. In the end, we both changed jobs a lot and we both made out well. She got more perks and I got more cash.
