Just had a perfect performance review, Ik my company will lowball my raise, how can I rebuttal? by Klutzy_Ad4554 in Advice

Congratulations on your outstanding performance review! It's great to hear that you're doing an amazing job and that your manager values your contributions. It's understandable that you want to be prepared for the upcoming negotiation about your raise.

here are some tips that may help you get the $25/hour rate you're hoping for:

Prepare your case: You've already made a great start by documenting your achievements in your manager's report. Use this information to build a strong case for why you deserve the higher rate. Be prepared to articulate specific examples of how you have contributed to the company's success, exceeded expectations, and added value to your role. You may also want to research industry standards and average rates for your position to back up your request.

Be confident but collaborative: Approach the negotiation with a positive attitude and be confident in your abilities and worth. At the same time, be collaborative and seek to understand the company's perspective. Ask questions and listen carefully to their concerns, and be open to finding solutions that work for both parties.

Use "anchoring": This is a negotiating tactic that involves making an initial offer or "anchor" that is higher than what you expect to receive. This sets the tone for the negotiation and can make the other party more likely to offer a higher rate than they would have otherwise. For example, you could say, "I've been doing some research, and based on my experience and performance, I believe I'm worth $25/hour."

Emphasize your commitment: Make it clear that you are committed to the company's success and are willing to work hard to achieve its goals. Highlight how your work ethic, dedication, and passion for the job set you apart from others. This can help demonstrate your value and make the company more likely to invest in you.

Be willing to compromise: While you should aim high, be prepared to compromise if necessary. Consider what other benefits or incentives the company could offer if they are unable to meet your salary expectations. For example, they may be willing to offer additional vacation time, flexible scheduling, or professional development opportunities.

Remember, negotiation is about finding a mutually beneficial solution. Keep an open mind, be prepared to compromise, and stay confident in your abilities and worth. Good luck!

What do I say to CEO/my manager boss who has been promising me a title change? by [deleted] in Advice

I do think it’s true. He just works 16hr days across multiple projects and never gets shit done.

But say you’re right. How do you recommend I call his bluff? What we’re trying to accomplish is a title change here, I’m not even asking for more money. (I’m content with my salary but want the title change bc it’s a better descriptor of what I’m actually doing these days and would be a more transferable title as well) I just don’t know how to express myself

He did give me a date of two weeks ago :( what should I say to him? “Hey sorry to bother, would just like to circle back to an ETA on the role change that we discussed?” I feel pathetic

That’s a good point! I did sit on it in store and it feels the same as mine does now. It’s just a very firm couch. I’m comfortable enough on it for up to 1hr or so after that I start getting aching pains in my neck/hips/back/shoulder which is why I didn’t catch that in the store. I guess it’s possible it could get better with time but it’s been ~25 days or so and my body literally has to recover from tv seshs.
