I've been in such situation. I totally agree with the "as you know..." type. What they were trying consistently on us was to tell us we're not getting a raise because "as we know" the business hasn't been doing so well, we're expensive etc.
By giving you 5 arguments to which you nod positively, they then enforce their point as to why (bs reasons) there is no money for you.
It takes a few years to read between the lines, hence why so many of those crooks bosses like to hire you straight out of uni.
- ams6110 16y agoThis is not really new knowledge. Somewhere around 15 years ago I bought an audio-cassette tape course on negotiating, and some of the clues to know when the other party was lying were prefix phrases like "Frankly...."; "To tell the truth....."; "Honestly....."; "As you know...." etc. along with excessive hyperbole in general.
- keyle 16y agoWell, I wish I had that tape 10 years ago.
- thetrumanshow 16y agoI use those phrases when I am being frank, truthful, honest, and when I am relating to what people already know. Wow, I must seem like the biggest liar on earth to the people that have read those books and listened to those tapes.
