No raise? I was talking to a new client yesterday who recently quit his job. I asked him why he left (it was a pretty good job). He told me that he did not get a raise last year. After 15 years with the company, he always got a review and a raise, but last year, was told raises were 'on hold.' Nothing happened to their revenue. In fact, they had modest gains. They cut half of his staff. He kept things moving. They expected him to continue to travel. He did. They eliminated his support staff. He pulled his own reports/booked his appointments. He gave his boss his resignation, 2 weeks notice and turned over his client lists. They immediately offered to bump his salary and restructure his commission package. He said, 'thanks, but no thanks.' "You are leaving us in a lurch" his boss said. But he graciously bowed out. Told them that the time to think about rewarding your team is long gone. He will land on his feet, but the company will scramble to backfill his role. Seems like a lot of work for a few thousand bucks and some words of appreciation. Don't take people for granted. There are plenty of places for them to go. #giveraises #successful #resumewriting

You may be passed over for promotion, if: 1. You’re doing your bosses work. 2. Your boss believes you are irreplaceable. 3. Your boss is unwilling or unable to do his job without your assistance. 4. Your boss fears that your promotion may result in your rise in the company surpassing them. 5. Your abilities and work ethic target you to finish other employees work assignments. 6. Your underpaid for your responsibilities and work product. 7. Your too busy working to notice opportunities in front of you. 8. You think those above your boss see your value. You may be invisible to them. 9. Your conditioned to believe it’s wrong to seek employment with another company. 10. You believe life is fair and you will receive fair consideration if you don’t stir the pot.

Few things are as costly and disruptive as good people walking out the door: https://lnkd.in/dT-n5CA

If you have never failed then you have never tried anything new.
