    I got promoted this year. Told my boss back in march that my goal for this year is to get promoted. He told me some goals that I should meet. Met those goals by july. August I got promoted.

      This is the best reply I've seen here. This is exactly the way to do it. Talk about it before during annual planning, ask them what they want as stretch goals and then deliver for the raise. Makes everybody feel good in the process. The employer and employee.

    • @rickvangils100
      @rickvangils100 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      This is the right way to climb up the ladder and get promotions. You agree on a certain salary for a certain number of tasks (your work), but you also agree with your boss that if you meet certain goals and show a certain level of improvement that comes from racking up experience, they will reconsider your position and salary. That way it doesn't come from a place of entitlement but from a place of agreements you've made which is a much stronger negotiation tool.

    The only way to ask for a raise is the ability to walk away. Without that you have zero leverage. And most people make more by changing jobs anyway.

    • @JonFontana24
      @JonFontana24 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You def need to have that in the back of your mind(prob should have a backup job just in case) but I think the best way to ask for a raise is to show your worth to the company(i.e. Sales, generating revenue). It all comes down to the bottom line and how much you impact it. Also depends on the economy as right now is prob not the best time to negotiate as there are a bunch of people waiting for a position to open(most jobs require basic knowledge w/ the rest being learnt on the job). So if you aren't bringing value to the company then you probably don't deserve a raise. Funny thing is raises are really meant to help us retain our purchasing power that takes a hit every year from inflation. That's why raises are usually around 2-3%/year, also known as cost of living raise.

  • @jacobg8640
    @jacobg8640 4 ปีที่แล้ว +138

    Best time is during salary negotiation. It's possible to get a raise if you can cite taking on extra responsibilities or value you bring, but other than that you get the best raises by jumping ship. People often forget that capitalism goes both ways. Your boss will end your relationship the moment it benefits them. You can do the same.

      Depends on what kind of business your working at. A big corporation usually will just say good bye and wont entertain to giving you a better offer.
      I find that usually small/med size companies will be more likely to consider making you a new offer if you decide to quit to go somewhere else. Owners in small businesses tend to be more involve in them and more likely to see more value in their current employees and not wanting to hire someone new.

    • @brianmay660
      @brianmay660 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Elaine's approach is best IMO. You can still try to negotiate a raise if you can show tangible proof of how they provided the company additional value. That value could be increased revenue, more sales, mentorship of other employees, etc. If the employer still isn't having it or it isn't in the budget, then it's clear they can't afford you at your market value. It's time to find someone else willing to pay you more. You simply keep that under your hat until your transition into your new role is secured. IMO you should almost never accept counter offers. I personally would never without some sort of contract in place. Otherwise, you've basically just branded yourself as someone who's willing to jump and there's no reason for them to promote you. As soon as they can replace you, they will and you're left looking again.

    People need to take control of their salary negotiations. The employer needs your services and skills so it's an equal exchange it's not master and worker and the worker takes what's thrown at them and feels lucky. If you have a marketable skill and you provide good service for the company then you are in a position of power and you should make them compete for you. Stop obeying the employer like a parent. It's a mutual respect and relationship.

    The only caveat to Dr. Delony's point of "you agreed to $X to do Y job" is when the job changes from Y to Z. That means the discussion around the original compensation of $X would be revisited. IMO the most valuable thing to take away from the discussion is to keep yourself up to date on your marketplace value. Know what others in your industry are making with similar experience in your area at all times. The whole raise discussion really shouldn't be a "gut feeling" or "I think I'm worth more". Talk to your peers. Talk to others in your industry.

      @@thecatnextdoor12 In the United States, that's generally illegal in most cases for employers to MANDATE that (you may want to look into the NLRA and similar Department of Labor rules/regulations). There are lots of caveats and limitations to that, of course. If you chose to talk about it after hours, there's not really anything they can do about it legally. If they fired you over it, that'd be illegal in most cases. With that said, I personally wouldn't discuss within the same company anyway. There are plenty of other resources outside of your current place of employment you can pull from statistically speaking. On top of that, it'd have the added benefit of forcing you outside of your bubble and expanding your professional network.

    My situation is my very large and successful employer blows through money. The new people they hire are always paid more and hard evidence other groups and bosses fight for and compensate their people better. My skillset and service is very specialized and technical. My internal customers are very happy with my work and will miss me, but my boss could care less about my area or work. He's taken steps to move me and my function to other groups unsuccessfully. As a result I've received the minimum increase for years. I'm mid 50s and don't need to work but do love the work itself and very comfortable work from home work, though it is very challenging and mentally draining. We've talked about money using hard information and he always says his hands are tied and reminds me where the door is. I'm planning to resign next week, but am open to negotiating once I resign. I'm prepared to let the job go and not go back to work.

    I've worked in environments where the guy who has been around for 5 years makes less than the new hire doing the same job. Nowadays, it seems like the only way to get a raise is to threaten to leave because you have an opportunity to make more money somewhere else. Employers will do anything to avoid giving a raise, but replacing a guy who shows up and knows what to do is always a gamble. It seems like Dave will give you a raise if you metaphorically blow him. He just wants to be worshiped.

    I believe that you should not ask for a raise because that can get you a NO for an answer. The correct question is what do I need to do to get a 10 percent raise? That will get you a lot of information, for one the work needed to get a 10 percent raise, you will also get to know what the workload required is and if its fair or not, and thirdly you will know what the company thinks of you. They might raise you immediately because you asked or they might say sorry, you will never get a raise cause you are already overpaid...and then you know NOW is the time to leave

    Definitely give your current employer a chance to hear you on wanting a raise. But the easiest way to get a SIGNIFICANT boost in salary is to be hired at a new company (or new dept, new team). And I hope Dave is not implying that workers shouldn’t expect merit/CoL raises every year or two. Inflation happens no matter what so if you’re not giving merit raises, you’ll see it reflected in your retention rate.

Employer access to cheap foreign labor is what has driven down pay across the board.

      2) Read books
      3) Find out about certifications that will help you make more money in your job and if it makes sense then get them
      4) Find ways to make your employer more money and have conversations with them about it
      5) Start a side hustle and try to grow it while you keep your current job
      6) Following the baby steps will get you out of debt and have cash in the bank. This will give you the security that you may need to "jump" and make a move.

The moment you enter into a job you need to have made agreements on what your development in the next few years will look like and what your reward for meeting certain goals will be. If you don't agree on anything other than what you're being hired for right now you're always gonna be firing shots in the dark because you don't know what your'e aiming at.
