Agree, but over the years - and being in the meetings salary raises are discussed/approved/rejected - I see this pattern that companies only act if they perceive urgency.
The quiet person doing an absolutely amazing job is never seen as an urgent case. It is sad and I don't agree with this view at all, but my opinion is not enough to change the system, so I need to live with it.
- xyzelement 3y agoEven in that case, I'd never do the "big raise or I am leaving" move and I wouldn't respect someone who did. If you gotta play that card, I'd do something much softer like "hey, I love working here but it's getting a little hard to keep hanging up on these recruiters offering me 3X.. can we talk?"
- gedy 3y agoWhat's the difference? I've done this, and company didn't take me seriously. So then I did get an offer and said I'm leaving - then they actually did something.
- hashtag-til 3y agoI respect your PoV and I know lots of people who consider “big raise or leave” move unethical. Personally I think it is a negotiation and a financial transaction - I’m trading my time for my salary and I better make the most out of it. At the same time - from a negotiation perspective I find unlikely showing your hand in the way you describe is going to work in your favour. In practice, it also has the potential to backfire and you being branded as “disengaged” and a “flight risk”. PS: please note I’m saying this in good faith, don’t read my comment with a snarky/sarcastic conotation :)
