I wouldn't attempt to renegotiate until he's proven his value because his position is weak, possibly not until he has a year or so under his belt and is in a good position to job hunt if they say no. But the idea that he should passively wait around rather than demand his worth is a mindset that will see him taken advantage of repeatedly. | |

A contract is for a fixed term or fixed amount of work. He signed an employment agreement, not a contract- there is no period for him to work out and then get a renewal. But being he's a young person he didn't know the proper terms. Second being that in reality, contracts get renegotiated constantly. There is never anything wrong with attempting to improve a contract that is no longer fair. | |

| Jul 15, 2019 at 19:21 | comment | added | Gabe Sechan | No, it doesn't. They'd dump him contract or no in an instant and it's unlikely he signed a contract, just a normal employment agreement | |
| Jul 15, 2019 at 19:19 | comment | added | Keith | @GabeSechan I didn't really say that, did I? I said he agreed to work for it, and it's not likely to be productive to renegotiate this soon. He signed a contract. Does that not mean anything? | |
| Jul 15, 2019 at 18:43 | comment | added | Gabe Sechan | This is horrible advice. While I don't agree with the OPs logic in this case, the idea of never requesting a raise/benefits and waiting hat in hand hoping for them to give you one is a great way to earn a fraction of what you're worth. | |
