I have a slightly different take.. based on my experience I have noticed that people who generally get good pay raises and promotions are experts at knowing what to say and when to say it. They dont not shy about speaking up in meetings and sharing their achievements as you mentioned in the video too but at times, they even highlight accomplishments they haven’t directly contributed to (not suggesting anyone should follow this).. but they do it in front of the “right people” These folks make it a point to showcase their work not just to their immediate managers but also to other senior leaders in the organization… i call it strategic visibility 😉
I like the way you put it - they know what to say, when to say it and whom to say it to. Some people do take credit for other people's work unfortunately, and +1 on not doing that. Instead, getting comfortable with advocating for yourself, or as you put it, showcasing your work to the right people in addition to your manager. Doing so, increases your chances of getting a promotion or a raise. I cover that here: ruclips.net/video/86YZa9UNiTQ/видео.html
I do this too! If I believe that my accomplishments are falling on blind eyes, I’ll just wait for the VP to visit and highlight my contributions when he is there. You can’t always depend on your manager because sometimes the manager is coasting and doesn’t want to look bad by having to admit all of the great things that you have done.
We all have egos since we're human :) In my experience, the great managers keep their egos in check and are open to receiving feedback. My hope is to inspire more managers to be open since it leads to building trust and even increasing productivity!
3:48 Knowing your salary range is essential info to have before you start a raise conversation! Great info.
Thanks JJ!

All managers have ego. This is great point
