Tried to negotiate a company-wide raise. What they did was give me a raise and a work truck

😮‍💨. I mean, Im grateful but honestly I'm not the only one out there that deserves more money.

I told them as much and I think I have them considering at least two others so thats something.

Seems like they're at least working on a bureaucratic structure whereby others can stand to more easily obtain an above-scale raise. Thats good, too.

Progress is progress and I'll take it. We all fantasize about the slam-dunks, I'm no different, but the reality seems to be that the wins are usually less than the dream.

Sounds like you sold out to the man...

@GeniUs if thats how this goes then I'll pivot and try another play. They, at least seem, like they're trying to put their money where their mouth is as far as their "criteria".

They've provided black and white parameters.

[quote]now they can just fall back on 'you didn't meet the criteria'.[/quote]

This is true, but it is also true the other way around. If you meet the criteria then they have 0 excuse.

If I can get the guys I know can/do meet their criteria checks in those boxes, if these guys are serious about their reasonings, then they should get raises.

And once they do the door is officially open for more.


If we dont at least attempt to use these paths they provided then they have a "bad faith" argument against the changes we want.

If we play by the rules and it still doesnt happen then I've got a black play in mind; Sun Tzu says the highest form of warfare is to win without conflict, though, so that is going to be held back as a last resort.

@GeniUs you have to help yourself before you can help others.

@darknessprevails No that doesn't have to be true.

They gave you a raise to silence you from starting a union 🤣
