Which type of employees does the boss prefer to give a raise to?

Thread Content

For us workers, the greatest happiness is to be told by our supervisors that our salary will be increased. Yet what pains us the most is that such a good thing as a salary increase seems to never happen to us. If we look at our own work, we do just as much as others and perform no worse than them – so why is our salary always lower than theirs? Actually, getting your boss to raise your salary on their own is also an art. If you don’t believe it, take a look at your colleagues around you – see what kind of people are those whose salaries keep increasing quickly Who are the people who are likely to get their boss to raise their salary? 3D | CAD | Machinery | Automotive | Technology | Catia | Pro/E | UG | Inventor | SolidEdge | SolidWorks | CAXA9 {8 I6 h5 N" c) @ Answer: In fact, when working, getting your boss to increase your salary is, in one word, difficult; in two words, extremely difficult. This is especially true in small companies. In larger companies, as long as you maintain good relations with your supervisor, it’s possible to have your salary increased quite significantly… You also need to take the initiative to ask for it (based on personal experience), and you need to know how to present yourself well. Presentation is an art form. I’ve seen many people who act very busy when their boss is around (when there’s actually nothing much to do); once the boss leaves, they become just as idle as anyone else. The first type of person has great perseverance and is willing to work overtime without hesitation. 3D Network Technology Forum " h0 ~ d) g+ r7 c! y. a7 Y “What kind of employee is the best? It’s the one who works until 1 or 2 a.m. every day. If you leave at 11 or 12 o’clock, you feel embarrassed even to say goodbye to them.” This is a quote from a movie, copied into the ringtone of a friend’s phone. Although it’s a bit exaggerated, it does reflect a common issue: the problem of excessive overtime. I remember when I first started working at a company, it was already time to leave, but my colleagues just wouldn’t leave. It seemed like everyone was competing to see who would leave first. Maybe I was new and didn’t understand the rules. I got up and went straight to the time-clock. Everyone stared at me; it felt like I had offended someone by leaving on time. But in the end, as soon as I entered the elevator, everyone else left as well. Apparently, they needed me to set an example. So, if you want your boss to raise your salary, you need to work overtime relentlessly. Think about it: if you can do the work of two people, your boss will at most give you half as much salary as that of another person – meaning they still make a profit from that extra person’s work. However, such a person will be in trouble if everyone in the company works overtime; yet this is exactly what the boss wants to see. 3D, CAD, machinery, technology, automotive, Catia, Pro/E, UG, Inventor, SolidEdge, SolidWorks, CAXA, time and space, Zhenjiang’ g* r c4 }: The second type consists of extremely talented individuals who simply can’t function without being involved in 3D-related work. This is the most outstanding type of person, and it’s one that everyone aspires to become. Such people have two key characteristics: first, they are highly competent at their work and efficient; they don’t rely on working longer hours to succeed, but rather on delivering quality results. Second, because of their efficiency, they always arrive and leave on time, refusing to work any extra hours. They’re like clockwork – they start working at the scheduled time, and nothing can stop them. Generally, such people are both loved and hated by their bosses: they’re loved for their ability to create value for the company in a short period of time, and they can complete urgent tasks quickly; they’re hated because it’s difficult to retain such people, yet the company needs them for a certain period of time. So, when such a person decides to leave, the boss usually tries to persuade them to stay by offering a higher salary. As a result, in such companies, these people tend to see their salaries increase rapidly. But every advantage has its disadvantage; the greatest sorrow for such people is that one day they will be replaced by newcomers trained by their bosses. The third type is extremely patient; it takes years for a daughter-in-law to become like a wife. www.3dportal.cn8 x5 ] t3 G. }5 N In our country, it is well known that rule of man prevails over rule of law, and the same is true in the small environment of a company. In any company, there are always one or two people who don’t have the strongest capabilities but still hold important positions. Why is that? He is a veteran of the company, with excellent leadership skills; in such cases, the management will raise his salary when necessary. The reason is simple: after all, they have worked together throughout the years, and it’s not right to disappoint such a colleague. Such people usually have spent N years in a company before finally reaching a leadership position; they do so not through competence but through seniority, which is also a shortcut to \"success\". ( @" ]/ L# V! w# V- @ The fourth type is those with great resilience and who never get tired of jumping from one job to another. There’s an old Chinese saying that goes, “A tree dies if it’s moved; a person thrives if they change jobs.” In the workplace, this saying is often interpreted as “If you’re not satisfied with your job, just change jobs.” Although this isn’t entirely true, in real workplace situations, there indeed are people like this: the last time you saw them, they were working at one company, and by the time you see them again, after a short period of time, they might already be working at another company, with a higher salary and less demanding work. Such people are often highly envied. Some people say that such individuals are unstable and not conducive to career development; others claim they tend to change their minds easily and are unable to achieve anything significant. But I personally believe that such people, who know when to take action based on new opportunities, are the ones best at spotting them. The reason they manage to see their salaries increase with each job change is precisely because of this trait – they know when it’s time to leave and when it’s time to stay. Such people are always able to make the most of job transfer opportunities; and even if they don’t end up changing jobs, they can easily get their boss to raise their salary, thus staying in their current position. G0: To be honest, it’s really difficult to get your boss to increase your salary; sometimes he only agrees to do so after you threaten to quit! But in that case, I think it makes no sense anymore. As for raising your salary, while the methods mentioned above can all work, one thing is extremely important: choosing the right boss. www.3dportal.cn/ d e( y! _/ v+ G6 @' X0 ]0 b4 r I once met a female boss who would never raise your salary, no matter how many lifetimes you spent working for her. Her principle is to exploit employees to the fullest extent, without considering giving them higher salaries or reducing their working hours. Therefore, only by choosing the right boss does performance make sense. Actually, getting a raise doesn’t necessarily require working overtime. Working overtime is often not worth the effort. I forced myself to work late the day before, and the next day I didn’t have enough energy or be in good shape even during regular working hours. 3D Network Technology Forum 4 Q {2 V' u' ] Getting enough rest is essential to ensure good work performance. As long as you work with dedication, others can tell at a glance. It’s not visible at first glance, but it can be seen on the second or third try. A raise is only a matter of time. I feel that for some employees to get a raise, they not only need to do their work well but also need to understand what the boss is thinking. Only by getting along well with the boss can you get a raise.
