| DM235 said: At that point (especially if you work for a shit company), why wouldn't you just take the offer at the new company? Maybe it is just semantics, but I was taught not to ask for a raise, but to ask for a transfer or assignment to another role that pays better. If your boss thinks you are not qualified for that new role, you ask what training is available or what experience is required to get that new role. |
Yea you are right... If it is a shit company then probably best to just leave. Your transfer idea if you like the company (have good benefits, etc) is also a good idea. I believe staying silent like the CEO's advice is probably the worst idea. It is almost offensive just based purely on how dumb the advice is. If you are silent then that usually makes management think you are okay with your wage and will only garauntee small raises based on company guidelines for raises. If you want higher pay at a faster rate than what the company raise guidelines are then you have to do something more than staying silent.
