agree, managers don't always have full power to determine salary. but if the budget is approved for 7k and the candidate is good, the manger should be able to settle for 7k or maybe 6.8 k. what value add do hr bring by haggling down the salary by a few hundred dollars? some good candidates simply go away if hr says "6k, take it or leave it". a good candidate may be able to find similar role for 6.5k elseewhere.
