Great reminder! I overheard my boss whispering to the HR that I am VERY GOOD at my job but kinda weird because I am more on the quiet side. My boss said she has nothing in common with me. 😅 Made me sad at first but then I realized I DO MY JOB WELL AND I AM CORDIAL AND THAT IS ENOUGH. I DO NOT HAVE TO BE BEST FRIENDS WITH MY BOSS.
Good for you 😊 That was very rude of your boss. Just because someone is the boss it doesn't mean that they are intelligent, right or deserving of their position.
the social part of the job is actually quite important. I do see how guys who go to play golf on the weekend with the boss but are highly incompetent get away with anything...it is cultural. in some places the social interaction adds to your pay check. it is a reality and people don't like to admit it.
Just gotta take interest on people and ask questions and they will literally be glad to talk about it, IF and ONLY IF you make it about them. And NOT a me, we all love to talk about ourselves and our achievements we need people to just listen. And that works for who ever implements this universal law. A gift from up high
Hm. Something I struggle with is that contrary to Kevin’s advice, bosses will often call on those they’re more friendly with then high performers. That has a pretty clear impact on salary
Most companies have a sort of social power aspect to it because the person who has the power to promote you is always human so he or she will have some personal bias. In an ideal world it would solely be based on performance but i can tell you right now 80% of the time it isn't.
My problem is I’m 20 and work in a trade of a bunch of older seasoned guys in their mid 30s who make $30-40 and older guys in the $40-$50 range we do service work, I’m fully out on my own running these calls and doing what the older guys are doing I’m only making $20 so obviously they aren’t going to pay me the same as them even though I’m doing the same work just based off my age because then if they do that then they would have a 20 year old at the top of the range and wouldn’t be much future growth outside of the normal 3-5% raise every year
That’s not true though. Even if you stay in your office and work work, employers will stay silent. You have to let them know your worth and raise it to their attention.
Using his tone and confrontational style would not work most of the time. He is correct about researching the salary data, but when asking for a raise its important not to back your boss into a corner. Show what you are worth by showing your value to the company, if it all possible. Use "we" and "us" more, and "l", less.
She's a nauseating Republican. Who cares about her? She was already quite wealthy and made so much off the NBC debacle that she never has to work a day in her life again. But since she's a narcissistic a-hole, she's probably somewhere on TV and thankfully I don't know where.
"You don't have to like people, but you have to respect them."
I felt that one. With the proper boundaries, you can respect almost anyone.

Great advice. Too many people don't understand that the workplace is not a dating site or a friendship den.
Nobody wants to be your friend so don't worry about it.

I worked @ a McDonald's. I thought that I did a terrible job, but I got my first raise.

I think that depends if the boss is also the owner or not
Excellent point
I think some people might think they're "highly performing" when really they're still inefficient despite putting in effort.
Thankfully I usually do my homework so receiving a pay raise ought to come natural to both myself and my employers.

I would not work for employer who pays different salaries for the same job. Should ask 70k as others not 65k.
I like when they say "we don't have the bugget to give you a raise"

I'm making $16.50. I'd love to make at least $20/hr.

They came to her because she is pretty
I LUV Mr Happy he has such a personality
Megyn Kelly I love and miss you!
“If you’re significantly underpaid is because you’re under performing.”
That’s not always true.

thanks
When a woman... The man in power... Ok I'm done.
in france they care more about how 'funny' you are then your performance
A great Canadian
Performance really matters.. hahaha lmao
Megyn Kelly is really talented; it's a shame to see her doing so poorly on daytime T.V. when she swept the floor at FOX.
Carter what talent lol!
Leaving Fox was her decision. A pretty dumb one in my opinion but nevertheless it was her choice.
She's a nauseating Republican. Who cares about her? She was already quite wealthy and made so much off the NBC debacle that she never has to work a day in her life again. But since she's a narcissistic a-hole, she's probably somewhere on TV and thankfully I don't know where.
More suction?
thank goodness her show was cancelled. she has some talent but her constant feminist remarks are nauseating. she made way too much $ as a news reader.
This didn’t age well
Y?
Bs
You worked worked worked and still a bad journalist
He's such a jerk and treats people like dirt on his show. I wouldn't listen to anything he says.
he's really not a jerk. watch some of his videos on his youtube channel. There are far worse people who actually meet the definition of jerk.
Agree. He sounds so arrogant. My boss woukd ask me to leave
