Never SAY This When Asking for a RAISE

Asking for a raise is usually a waste of time. It’s best to find a better job. It took me over two years to find a great job.

Most corporations have devolved into a "NO MERIT BASED RAISES" policy. Out of fear of the hard working white males getting paid more than their coworkers.

Thanks so much. Really very helpful. Greetings for South Africa

Hello Don.
I'm currently getting ready to request a higher salary.
Your tips are very valuable.

And if you still dont get a raise anyways? If you get always unclear answers like later and later and later?
How to stay professional except just switching a company? But if you want really to stay with current one?

“Your Boss Gives You Wage Negotiation Advice”

Was helpful, thanks.

Im sorry this is the only reason why anyone want a raise that our pay wages is being surpassed by current inflated cost of living.

A multi bullet points list of topics covered would help us in the comments section rehears what to say, not to say, do, not do etc.

Very helpful. Thanks so much.

Amazing very helpful

Thanks Robert Picardo

I strongly agree with you Don...

Really helpful❤

Fantastic 🔥
Thanks!

This dude definitely works for the ruling class. He's not on your side.

I agree with everything you say, and I also have used some of them. Unfortunately some employees will retaliate after using any of these techniques. And it’s easy to notice the gaslighting that comes after asking for one.

BULLSHIT...
ME: Hello, I have 60K offer and you're giving me 50, are you going to MATCH ? I would stay here if you match or come close..
MANAGER: WELL, YEAH, we trust you, we want you to be the next lead bla bla ... so just be with us and we'll see great things toether in the future...
ME: STFU , and btw please have some serious thought about my loyalty to you, I'm loyal to myself and my family and personal & familly expenses ...

Several things are wrong with this.
1) Companies are routinely stagnating wages so they can profit off paying people less than they are worth.
2) Experience almost always makes a person better able to do any job, so time with a company SHOULD be valuable, they just don't see it that way because they want to exploit you.
3) Have market research on pay rates and if possible another job offer. Do inform your boss of your value and give them the opportunity to retain your services, if they choose not to, you weren't being 'hostile' ITS JUST BUSINESS.

Hey Don, the most substantial increases come from getting offers from other companies. Wouldnt that be the better route if looking for a pay increase?

Easily the best and most realistic video I've ever seen about having the dreaded pay raise conversation. So many of these kind of videos, articles, and lists are written by people that are so far out of touch with the average guy or gal that they're just not useful. I like that he didn't just list out the reasons either, but also gave suggestions to what you SHOULD say. Very well explained. This is a big help.

Don, how to ask for working less hours, maybe making less money, but keeping your job? For someone who already paid their debts and mortgages off. Maybe you can make a video on that.

another thing! why should employers not discuss raise with other employees? this benefits psychopaths in power that want to cheat certain people out of fair wage. if you are not discriminating by gender or class than why should people not discuss wage? that is only FAIR. not discussing pay with other workers is a way for garbage companies to get away with BREAKING DISCRIMINATION LAWS. you should know that, but you're a corporate puppet for the amazon's of the world.

most ceos are callous and parasitic garbage. how about VALUE & RESPECT YOUR WORKERS! you know what is demanding? breaking it down to the psychopath bottom: "10x"ing quotas that lead to overuse injuries and sickness inducing cortisol levels for LOW WAGES.

Raises are myth. Everyone I know got refused a raise, then went looking for other jobs and got an increased salary when they changed jobs.

Thanks for the great advice.

Man, you're really talented. Thanks for sharing! 👍
