I asked, she said no, and they were SHOCKED, SHOCKED that I jumped ship.

Update: Thank you so much, this worked for me and i just got the exact raise I asked for! I was just informed yesterday as my boss took me out for lunch to give me the good news! Thank you again! 😊

Who has heard this before. You are great. You are wonderful. Probably the best we've had. We're giving you the highest raise we can give. 3%. :/

[Steven-wwvv]

Best video i have found on the subject in years. Great job.

Very well organized and presented. I will definitely watch it few more time to prepare for my negotiation.

I've been looking at youtube and reading articles on the subject of raise negotiations. This is my favorite one because he really stresses some honest introspection. I love the "fantasizing with coworkers" part- I am so guilty of this. I will be sure to adjust my attitude before I breach the raise subject, luckily for me it's my yearly raise so it's more a matter of "how much."

Great tips. I just wrote my boss a written request for a raise and put main points in it as to why I feel they should "consider" me for a raise. I also gave them a full attached copy of what my job duties currently are. I am waiting on the word back for the appointment time that I can discuss this with my boss. I feel this is the least threatening because I gave him the information ahead of time and did not walk in and catch him off guard.

[thermalrain_yt]

Those were definitely some of the best tips ive heard in my rabbit hole today. Great advice!

[BGHC]

I'd love to have had some specific examples for problems a boss would have with giving a raise, their concerns or arguments. If I'm honest the only one I can really think of would be funds available for payroll.

Stupid people will hit thumbs down, where else can you get this kind of proper step-by-step advice . Thank you sir what a helpful thing you've given us .

[MrBamshy]

My opinion, just quit and go elsewhere for a bump. Only approach this if you feel staying with some company for the next 10 yrs is your plan and it's worth it. There's no loyalty in employee-employer relationships

Nice video !
I suggest that you make a video on how to ask for a employment contract renewal in the presence of multiple generous job offers on the other side !

[rebecca_stone]

Thanks for this video - it's a really smart and classy way to approach the situation. Especially about keeping the conversation positive and mutually respectful. Nice!

[therealmilfhunter]

Really great information. Just wish I saw this before I asked. I did the worst thing and compared my self to a new employee that is making more than me. He was pissed 😤 lol

[ItsMeBobbyVee]

Thank you for providing us with these 10 tips. I’m drafting an email with my specific request and I was already feeling prepared to write it out. However, your video gave me that special edge to help me avoid falling into any of the mistakes you’ve mentioned. I feel confident. If I get the raise, I’ll be back to give the update.Thanks!

You made some good points Chief and I think you're right everybody should tell their supervisor what they do for the company that's and why they should be compensated good job kudos to you
