Here’s my situation: New CFO wanted to make changes and was also unhappy
that I had retained a poor-performing employee. The CFO told me I could leave
or move to a smaller role in the company. I have been in that role for 2 years and
would like to leave for another company in a management role similar to the role that I
had initially. How should I address the termination/demotion in a resume and during interviews? Also, my compensation was reduced when I was moved to
the lesser role.

I recently went on a job interview where the person conducting the interview
asked me how much I made in both my current and previous job. I told the interviewer
who then called my past employer and asked him how much I made
as well. I was appalled that they did this and don’t really even think it’s legal.
Is it okay for a company I am applying with to contact my past employer
and ask him or her how much I was making while employed there? This past
employer was not a reference of mine and in my opinion should not have
been contacted and asked how much did so and so make when they
worked for you.

The end of the year is a traditional time for many companies to dole out raises and bonuses. If you're expecting to negotiate for a salary increase this year, you'll find this Harvard Business School blog post (along with reader's comments) quite thought-provoking.
Here is a link to the blog, Can Nice Girls Negotiate? and corresponding audio piece. Feel free to share your thoughts on this subject here on this blog.

T.A.P. question #382 prompted this post. You can go read the entire question
here, but the gist of it is,
“I’m underpaid. Should I threaten to leave to see if I can get more money?” Since I can only answer in 140 characters on Twitter, I decided to expand all the things wrong with this tactic here.
This question netted a visceral response from me because of my recruiting background and I don’t like the threat game. Either do it or don’t, but don’t threaten actions to get your way. The list of 10 reasons not to accept counter offers (below) harkens back to my recruiting days. Nothing is worse for a recruiter than a candidate using the recruiter and the hiring company as pawns in a game to get more money from his current employer. Whether a recruiter is in the equation or not, threatening to leave to is NOT a good strategy to extort a higher salary. (Yes. I said
extort.)

I would really appreciate if you could please send me some examples
about how to ask for a raise. I’ve been at my job for a year now and I
am stuck on a few things. I pretty much have all of my ducks in a row
and I know I deserve the raise but I really want to make it presentable
and professional. Basically I’m looking for a jump start, maybe I should
start with a cover letter introducing my specific proposal? What do you
think? Anything would help.
