Wait the guy is talking about getting promoted, the team doesnt matter at all for that. When you talk to the bosses in promotion mode, you dont say we or what does it even mean ? That you want them to pay a pizza to the team ? No you feel you re not at the pay level you desire, you alone, while probably the rest of the team is, so you must show why paying you more will provide an advatage to the bosses, the team, maybe even the company. If you re not in promotion mode, promote your good colleagues. Use their name, not the team name, if you want to accomplish anything. Doing good work is entirely unimportant when discussing salary. What matters is who is doing the good work, precisely.
