I just asked my boss for a pay raise after 6 months of working (at a restaurant) and he gave me the equivalent of two pay raises because he didn’t even realize I hadn’t gotten one yet. Sometimes all you have to do is ask.

You seem to want to take 100% of responsibility off the employer. They should be able to recognize and reward good employees.... if people are having to go ask for raises, then maybe that employer has an issue with recognizing talent and rewarding it. And if employees wait until "the breaking point" to ask for a raise, it's because their employer has created an adversarial environment where employees can feel free to communicate their needs..
totally agree with you. I focused on the employee, because as the employee, it is much easier to change your behavior than to change a company culture. this might be a whole separate video, but if you recognize that you're in a place that systemically doesn't reward talent, your easiest choice is to go elsewhere rather than try to change the company.
I've had an employer once where he been playing dumb and pushing back all kinds of reviews and raise, and low ball everybody. I don't hit breaking point and ask for a raise, because it doesn't work , i hit a breaking point and call quit. He then turn around want to offer 30% raise but it's too late. Every so often you meet a bad employer, and you'll be surprise there's a lot out there...
The best strategy is the "walk away" . If they are adamant about not giving a raise and you are the best of the best in your field leaving them is the best revenge..
I'd love to have had some specific examples for problems a boss would have with giving a raise, their concerns or arguments. If I'm honest the only one I can really think of would be funds available for payroll.

This video it’s a little differently after call good. If you ask for a raise when you know the company is struggling they probably won’t give it to you and then they’re going to think that you’re not happy
My company would act like I pried the money from their hands, regardless. If the owner of the business I work for had it her way, I'd be doing 10 times more work than I am, working 365 days straight without time off, for the same measly $9 an hour they've been paying me since I started working there two years ago. My job over those two years has evolved immensely from what it originally was, and as such, my workload has nearly quadrupled, but heaven forbid they offer a fucking raise!
yes, the point of the video is that you don't wait for them to offer. You try to find the most diplomatic and persuasive way to ask. But if you're feeling negative about the company and you have a chip on your shoulder, you have to be careful, because that will come across.
I've tried negotiating with them. I've asked politely, explained my reasons that I feel they should be giving me a raise, this, that, and the other. All I get for a response when I ask is them telling me they're not offering anyone a raise at this time. So, yes. I do feel negative, and I'm sure many people I work with realize I'm a bit torqued off by the management's inability to do the right thing when it comes to rewarding staff as they work their way up in the company. That's why I said they'd still act like I ripped the money straight out of their hands if they gave me a raise. They literally don't like investing in raises for their staff. I'm under the assumption that I am going to have to move on to a different company just to get the money I deserve. The only problem is I work in radio broadcasting, and most on-air gigs want 3-5 years experience, meaning I'd have to struggle through one more year of this crap before I'd be considered elsewhere, or I'd have to take a literal demotion back to board operator/studio engineer (a job with virtually no hours, that is well below my skills and training, making similar pay to what I am now) and work my way back up if I do move on to so called greener pastures. I'm just not sure I can afford to do that at this time.
HM The Tsar of Russia when you do get a new job dont feel that you have to give them 2 weeks notice. It's not like when they fire you they would do that for you.

I have seen people come to work in other dept with nowhere the amount of support and work I do get we get paid the same or they get more..if I stay quite nothing will change
I have just got my compensation letter this year and when I saw that i have got only 4% raise, i was looking for points and found this video. So should I go to my manager or senior manager or HR to negotiate for a salary hike?
Stupid people will hit thumbs down , where else can you get this kind of proper step-by-step advice . Thank you sir what a helpful thing you've given us .
I feel like I might be overthinking myself to death. He's over here talking about "the business" and how it's doing and "getting a 10k salary bump" I work in groceries as a stocker and I just came here to learn how to ask for a small bump of 7.25 to 8 dollars an hour...
People don't want to feel valued at work. People want basic needs met.The expectation is to make sure my bills are paid and in return i make you money.
Pay raises are good in most cases but in retail or at a restarant people with raises may make less money because of there hours are being cut. But if you are a good valuable employee that will still accept to get paid the standard wage you will get more hours and make more than the people with raises. It only works in those scinarios though. If you work any where else ask for a raise.
Maybe you've missed the 1st tip...🤭 1. Deserve the raise Give your best and focus while at work, you want the money? You have to get your ass there on time and do what you are paid to do and suck it up like everybody else. You made it to work today? You might aswell do what's has to be done. Show your employer you are 100% in the team and if he ask to cover for someone or to do extra time, do it, show that you have what's needed for the company. Be an important attribute, almost as if without you there, everything will turn to shit. Once your boss sees all these qualities and efforts, it will be the perfect time to ask for more money for your time, as you will be seen as a quality, hard worker, honest and liable employé. It might take time especially if now you have to find a new job and earn the trust of the staff, then the boss, coz that's how it works..... Believe deeply that you can do this, you know you have it in you. You already had the cojones to ask for a raise the 1st time even if it didn't work, you can still do it again somewhere else. Only this time you will be prepared, and show on the interview, that you have the qualities worth a good wage, and negociate it as soon as the interviewer mentions money. Ask to be paid the amount your skills and abilities are truly worth, at work. Go for it, be confident, stand up straight, ferm handshake, eye contact, slow breathing, you've got this. Good Luck, Stranger, who is going to ask for the wage he deserves on his next job interview.🤑💵💵✌🏻🏆
This is so helpful but most of all I appreciate the way you lay the points out plainly with great examples. I laughed at your impressions of ppl ready to leave if they don’t get what they want 😂 So glad you didn’t just drag this on and were very articulate. The best video on this topic I have seen yet. Thank you sir!
The Distilled Man btw, I’m using your tips as we speak and my supervisor completely respected the way I came to him about it. He has set up an invite to discuss this coming Monday with our director and he actually believes that I’m due for a bump. Without watching your video I would have went about it the wrong way for sure. Plus the way you suggested we handle this is completely in line with my values so it’s a plus for sure! 👍🏾👍🏾
Same, but these skills will be relevant before you know it. If you're doing a work placement year, make a point of asking how to negotiate things like wages.
Thanks for this video - it's a really smart and classy way to approach the situation. Especially about keeping the conversation positive and mutually respectful. Nice!
Good advice. But I think knowing context is important too, to form a strategy. Financial situation of the company, easy or hard to find new employees, track record of neputism in the company...
Hi Kyle, I recently joined a new office and it will be our 3-month review since this is our agreement when I joined the company (when I lower my rate to start out as trial). A lot had happened, and for one I proved my capability, and secondly the person I'm working with is on maternity leave and I've been working extra hours to fill two shoes and meet every deadlines, on average 48 hours every week. I'm not sure what is the best way to approach this. I know by law employees are suppose to get overtime x1.5 pay but I've never heard that's happened in our industry. Can you please advice what is the best way to approach this without sounding too greedy? Thank you very much!
Great tips. I just wrote my boss a written request for a raise and put main points in it as to why I feel they should "consider" me for a raise. I also gave them a full attached copy of what my job duties currently are. I am waiting on the word back for the appointment time that I can discuss this with my boss. I feel this is the least threatening because I gave him the information ahead of time and did not walk in and catch him off guard.
Really great information. Just wish I saw this before I asked. I did the worst thing and compared my self to a new employee that is making more than me. He was pissed 😤 lol
Now what if I just got a raise of 25 cent and they have me filling in for the manager constantly and doing other thing on top of my main job... while every one else get paid more than me for just one job and they started off at more than I did and they get to take breaks every couple hours while I cant because I'm filling in for the manager???
Question... When I was first hired, I was told that a pay raised could be discussed at my year end review. I've finished my first year but haven't seen any indication of a such review. So, should I start the conversation by mentioning the performance review or just discuss the raise independently?
You can discuss this as part of your performance review, it's the perfect opportunity and less awkward than bringing it up separately. Additionally, it's not the end of the year yet so it should be in a few month's time. If in doubt, ask your manager when they usually conduct these.
I work in retail and my coworker got bumped up a dollar, I work harder than my whole team, and have even managed when my boss isn't around. Hopefully this talk goes well
brilliant!!! Remember about having alternatives to boost your confidence n increase your Batna, be ready for negotiations n long term negotiations n improvement of self and of the company, be ready to risk n challenge your boss as he may appreciate your courage feedback n collecting the advice remember that there are many different strategies on the raise issue depending on the industry job experience n time of the company which The Distilled Man has mentioned. impressive video congratulations!
My manager has left the company. The Boss asked me to take over his role. I said: I am happy he has believe in me. Then it became clear he wanted to wait a half year for a pay raise. Not even sure I will get it!!! It will be based on company result. I am now at a point to tell him to give me X amount or look for someone else. I wont do extra work for free. It made me first happy. Now I feel like he was trying to look a cheap solution.
I don’t know what I did before UA-cam lol. I probably threatened my boss and rage quit. This took some weight of my shoulders and now I’m ready to approach this conversation logically instead of emotionally.
How effective would it be to come to the meeting with a Proposal laid out with bullet points? I'm asking because the boss might cut you off from speaking from the beginning? Could there be a more business legal approach? Lastly, what to do if your immediate boss ends up doing nothing?
I've been looking at youtube and reading articles on the subject of raise negotiations. This is my favorite one because he really stresses some honest introspection. I love the "fantasizing with coworkers" part- I am so guilty of this. I will be sure to adjust my attitude before I breach the raise subject, luckily for me it's my yearly raise so it's more a matter of "how much."
I know a very powerful spellcaster that can help you guys get a good job immediately he is the one that helped me with this my job now and I earn good money now. I also meant his now here on UA-cam WhatsApp him now if you need a good job here is the WhatsApp number +2347040558427.
Great video. I’ve been doing presentations the last few months with my manager to convince her to create a management position for me and to give me a corresponding pay raise. I hadn’t watched this video but it is reassuring to know that I was following the right track. In the next month or so, I’m going to give a final presentation to bring it all together. So far they have been receptive and I’m hoping that will continue. My whole philosophy is provide examples of where I have created value, provide examples of what I’m doing currently to create value, and provide examples of what I’m going to do in the future to continue creating value.
Nick Miller / Hope this goes well / went well! The fact your posturing WHY a new role is needed already shows you’ve thought about what THEY get out of you getting the new role : raise ! GL MAN!
Good video. I’m stressing over asking for a raise. My job responsibilities have greatly increased without the pay. I feel better prepared after watching this video!
Hi. I need prompt advise. I had my performance review last week and got very positive feedback. At the end of the meeting I was offered 53K (said by HR). I took a moment of silence and boss (CEO) asked what I thought. I said 55K and he said okay. Now I’m wishing I asked for more. My position is currently hiring and the starting is from 50K. They recently changed it. When I started last year the starting was posted from 45K. They offered me 45K and I negotiated to 48K. So, is my calculation correct? With their 5K increase in budget my raise is only 2K (considering inflation, that’s nothing). Is there any action I can take now?
So basically, if I don’t get a raise I will be forced to quit and find a job that actually pays enough to survive the next year. If I don’t have enough money to pay for taxes, land, mortgage, car payments and miscellaneous emergency bills and be able to live like a human being and not like a 1600s surf servant... I’m not going to work. Unless you’re hiring snot nose thieving high schoolers with felony charges, a 1.25c raise is a small loss compared to literally thousands upon thousands of hours and money and property lost due to theft and demoralized employees. Everyone who works hard needs money. Suck it up buttercup or find someone else. It’s that simple. If you can’t afford it, then you may have to do some financial soul searching
Thank you for providing us with these 10 tips. I’m drafting an email with my specific request and I was already feeling prepared to write it out. However, your video gave me that special edge to help me avoid falling into any of the mistakes you’ve mentioned. I feel confident. If I get the raise, I’ll be back to give the update.Thanks!
@@ruatahrahsel1625 They read it, tried to convince the owners of why I should be paid more, and they declined due to budget limitations. However, I was asked to hold on because they didn’t want to lose me. They were buying properties in 2022. Two months later I was offered a transfer to a property down the street and making $4 more an hour than where I was. I was asking for $5, but this was close enough. However, exactly today, I found out that the company is buying a property in mid May and that it is bigger (which means bigger budget, more pay potential) and the kicker? It is 2.8 miles away from my house. I requested to be considered for the position. My current job is 40 minutes away from home. So the transfer to the new place probably pays more but at the very least I’ll get paid the same as my current position. I would save serious money on gas which at very least would technically be a pay raise. 😂
I'm calling my boss: "I have your daughter in the garage, if I don't get a raise, you'll see what I can do .... there's a lot of equipment here: hammer, chainsaw ... you son of a bitch"
You made some good points Chief and I think you're right everybody should tell their supervisor what they do for the company that's and why they should be compensated good job kudos to you
I would always try to have the conversation in person. Then if they have any objections you can have a chance to refute them Here's a structure on what you can say: ua-cam.com/video/UD-kIopsUGI/v-deo.html
I work in HR and know that upper management isn’t going to cave-in when they hear that. If anything they may say no while thinking if the person doesn’t like it here than they can leave. Everyone is easily replaceable. Once you start asking for money or additional money after a pay increase management will know that you’re not happy and they won’t trust you
I am in the process of asking for a raise at my current job . I over see a program currently but recently revived a job offer that paid we 2000 less but with lesser work. In this program I over see residential homes (5), with staffing and managers. With the offer it will only be one residential home with 2000 less then what I am making now. My question is how would you approach this ?
Great and very Helpful... I work at a hospital which has just been bought 4 months ago, as a Health insurance manager. I had been working here b4 it was sold as a an Assistant Health insurance manager. I'm going to ask for a raise... Do you think it's too early?
This is actually really great in theory. However, if you work for an actual corporation who has over 75 thousand employees..this is laughably naive and idealistic and not at all applicable to real life situations. They can pay you what you want and have several employees waiting to do your job, internally and outside the company. Try again.
Hey everyone, I’m currently trying to make a new channel on UA-cam about how to get in shape if you are very busy with your office job, or if you are a student and you can't get enough time for it. Which is why I have two very simple questions: 1. As a very busy person trying to get in shape, what are the 2 biggest issues you’re dealing with? 2. Regarding getting your dream body, what would you wish for more than anything else? Thanks so much in advance - looking forward to reading your answers!
I was working 12 hours a day for £20, average pay for my area is £15 with no experience I've got 3 years experience. He went mental when I asked for a pay rise so I quit
Acknowledge. You've been a good employee. I appreciate your hard work. Our work is based on results. So I'd be more than happy to pay a bonus or commission on great work turned in. Unfortunately, if we're not improving we are losing value due to the competition. Keep adding value and keep collecting those bonuses. The bigger the value added the more the bonus...
Find another job with a better salary, ask for a raise without threatening, just ask as much as you offered in another place or a little bit more, then decide
Boss thinks If he gives me a raise I’ll work less because I’ll be making the same. Makes sense, he has history with that where he gave a raise to a co-worker and that resulted in less working hours, as a boss I’d feel the same tbh, feels like paying more for less time. I work remotely as web dev for a startup and I track my own time. I get paid $5 now but still a good deal, it’s my first real job,.(23yo now) And planning to start my business and being in a small startup, you just learn a lot. Will discuss the raise tomorrow.
What if u left the company and you're still in touch with your boss like, once in awhile s/he's asking how you're doing and then at some point, hinted a question about if there's any potential u can come back then u found this video of "Distilled Man". You realized that his advises can work on your favor. Thanks, Distilled Man!
Is it normal for some poeple to get paid less than their coworkers when they are doing the same job , work the same hours but they are not as experienced . That's happening to me right now . I haven't done something bad , im just the new guy .
Yes, it's normal for people to be paid different amounts. Is it fair? Not all of the time. To understand if you deserve a raise, I would ask: 1. Are similar companies paying employees more? 2. Have you received more responsibilities since you've started your job? 3. Are you a high performer? If you answer "yes" to 2 out of 3 questions, then I would consider negotiating a raise. :)
1) Deserve the Raise
2) Do your Research
3) Be specific about your ask
4) Be unemotional with your argument
5) Avoid playing Martyr card

8) Be prepared to get creative about compensation
9) Choose the right time
10) Plan out the conversation and practice

My idea is, you should look for a promotion within 2-3 years. Cause you usually be ready for next step in your career.
That, but then hear we can't give you a raise...
I think im going to ask for my raise tomorrow all i need is the confidence
Did you ask ? I need to ask but I'm socially awkward and introverted so it's extremely difficult for me to even think about doing it. 🙈
Im scared argh lol
Did it work?
And so??
Puts on your raise.

So true. Most employers don't get it. It's worth it to pay your employees well in exchange for low turnover and happy workers.

People don't want to feel valued at work. People want basic needs met.The expectation is to make sure my bills are paid and in return i make you money.
Pay raises are good in most cases but in retail or at a restarant people with raises may make less money because of there hours are being cut. But if you are a good valuable employee that will still accept to get paid the standard wage you will get more hours and make more than the people with raises. It only works in those scinarios though. If you work any where else ask for a raise.
What do you do if you have already made some of these mistakes?
This video deserves way more views and likes! Thank you!
Known Boston thank you, sir!
Wow I did this and got fired
Maybe you've missed the 1st tip...🤭
1. Deserve the raise
Give your best and focus while at work, you want the money? You have to get your ass there on time and do what you are paid to do and suck it up like everybody else.
You made it to work today? You might aswell do what's has to be done.
Show your employer you are 100% in the team and if he ask to cover for someone or to do extra time, do it, show that you have what's needed for the company. Be an important attribute, almost as if without you there, everything will turn to shit.
Once your boss sees all these qualities and efforts, it will be the perfect time to ask for more money for your time, as you will be seen as a quality, hard worker, honest and liable employé.
It might take time especially if now you have to find a new job and earn the trust of the staff, then the boss, coz that's how it works.....
Believe deeply that you can do this, you know you have it in you. You already had the cojones to ask for a raise the 1st time even if it didn't work, you can still do it again somewhere else. Only this time you will be prepared, and show on the interview, that you have the qualities worth a good wage, and negociate it as soon as the interviewer mentions money. Ask to be paid the amount your skills and abilities are truly worth, at work.
Go for it, be confident, stand up straight, ferm handshake, eye contact, slow breathing, you've got this.
Good Luck, Stranger, who is going to ask for the wage he deserves on his next job interview.🤑💵💵✌🏻🏆
This is so helpful but most of all I appreciate the way you lay the points out plainly with great examples. I laughed at your impressions of ppl ready to leave if they don’t get what they want 😂 So glad you didn’t just drag this on and were very articulate. The best video on this topic I have seen yet. Thank you sir!
thanks so much! I'm glad you found it helpful.
The Distilled Man you’re very welcome!
The Distilled Man btw, I’m using your tips as we speak and my supervisor completely respected the way I came to him about it. He has set up an invite to discuss this coming Monday with our director and he actually believes that I’m due for a bump. Without watching your video I would have went about it the wrong way for sure. Plus the way you suggested we handle this is completely in line with my values so it’s a plus for sure! 👍🏾👍🏾
Why am i watching this I'm in college
Same, but these skills will be relevant before you know it. If you're doing a work placement year, make a point of asking how to negotiate things like wages.
Because you are anxious about it hahahaha
I am in college and I have a job as well
Thanks for this video - it's a really smart and classy way to approach the situation. Especially about keeping the conversation positive and mutually respectful. Nice!
Good advice. But I think knowing context is important too, to form a strategy. Financial situation of the company, easy or hard to find new employees, track record of neputism in the company...
I’m watching this because I’m going to ask my boss for a raise today. Wish me luck 😜
Got your ass fired didn't you?
Did it work?
Hi Kyle, I recently joined a new office and it will be our 3-month review since this is our agreement when I joined the company (when I lower my rate to start out as trial). A lot had happened, and for one I proved my capability, and secondly the person I'm working with is on maternity leave and I've been working extra hours to fill two shoes and meet every deadlines, on average 48 hours every week. I'm not sure what is the best way to approach this. I know by law employees are suppose to get overtime x1.5 pay but I've never heard that's happened in our industry.
Can you please advice what is the best way to approach this without sounding too greedy? Thank you very much!
Great tips. I just wrote my boss a written request for a raise and put main points in it as to why I feel they should "consider" me for a raise. I also gave them a full attached copy of what my job duties currently are. I am waiting on the word back for the appointment time that I can discuss this with my boss. I feel this is the least threatening because I gave him the information ahead of time and did not walk in and catch him off guard.
And? Did it work
Really great information. Just wish I saw this before I asked. I did the worst thing and compared my self to a new employee that is making more than me. He was pissed 😤 lol
Now what if I just got a raise of 25 cent and they have me filling in for the manager constantly and doing other thing on top of my main job... while every one else get paid more than me for just one job and they started off at more than I did and they get to take breaks every couple hours while I cant because I'm filling in for the manager???
Find another job
Question... When I was first hired, I was told that a pay raised could be discussed at my year end review. I've finished my first year but haven't seen any indication of a such review. So, should I start the conversation by mentioning the performance review or just discuss the raise independently?
You can discuss this as part of your performance review, it's the perfect opportunity and less awkward than bringing it up separately. Additionally, it's not the end of the year yet so it should be in a few month's time. If in doubt, ask your manager when they usually conduct these.
Battlefield: earth taught me that all you need is leverage.
I work in retail and my coworker got bumped up a dollar, I work harder than my whole team, and have even managed when my boss isn't around. Hopefully this talk goes well
brilliant!!! Remember about having alternatives to boost your confidence n increase your Batna, be ready for negotiations n long term negotiations n improvement of self and of the company, be ready to risk n challenge your boss as he may appreciate your courage feedback n collecting the advice remember that there are many different strategies on the raise issue depending on the industry job experience n time of the company which The Distilled Man has mentioned. impressive video congratulations!
thanks so much!
My manager has left the company. The Boss asked me to take over his role. I said: I am happy he has believe in me.
Then it became clear he wanted to wait a half year for a pay raise. Not even sure I will get it!!! It will be based on company result.
I am now at a point to tell him to give me X amount or look for someone else. I wont do extra work for free.
It made me first happy. Now I feel like he was trying to look a cheap solution.
I don’t know what I did before UA-cam lol. I probably threatened my boss and rage quit. This took some weight of my shoulders and now I’m ready to approach this conversation logically instead of emotionally.
Thank you for this video. It contributed to the success of my first attempt to negotiate a raise today. :)
How effective would it be to come to the meeting with a Proposal laid out with bullet points? I'm asking because the boss might cut you off from speaking from the beginning? Could there be a more business legal approach? Lastly, what to do if your immediate boss ends up doing nothing?
I've been looking at youtube and reading articles on the subject of raise negotiations. This is my favorite one because he really stresses some honest introspection. I love the "fantasizing with coworkers" part- I am so guilty of this. I will be sure to adjust my attitude before I breach the raise subject, luckily for me it's my yearly raise so it's more a matter of "how much."
I just tell them I’m going to quit if they don’t pay me more .....if it works good if it doesn’t good I can find a better job.
I tried that the last time I negotiated. He didn't care a fucking bit that I "received" another offer elsewhere.
I know a very powerful spellcaster that can help you guys get a good job immediately he is the one that helped me with this my job now and I earn good money now. I also meant his now here on UA-cam WhatsApp him now if you need a good job here is the WhatsApp number +2347040558427.
first question got me! well, you win
Great video. I’ve been doing presentations the last few months with my manager to convince her to create a management position for me and to give me a corresponding pay raise. I hadn’t watched this video but it is reassuring to know that I was following the right track. In the next month or so, I’m going to give a final presentation to bring it all together. So far they have been receptive and I’m hoping that will continue. My whole philosophy is provide examples of where I have created value, provide examples of what I’m doing currently to create value, and provide examples of what I’m going to do in the future to continue creating value.
Nick Miller / Hope this goes well / went well! The fact your posturing WHY a new role is needed already shows you’ve thought about what THEY get out of you getting the new role : raise ! GL MAN!
Good video. I’m stressing over asking for a raise. My job responsibilities have greatly increased without the pay. I feel better prepared after watching this video!
TheStackingNerd did you get the raise. I’m going for mine soon
The Andinos no I did not. This video is great, just assumes you’re asking a rational person
Hi. I need prompt advise. I had my performance review last week and got very positive feedback. At the end of the meeting I was offered 53K (said by HR). I took a moment of silence and boss (CEO) asked what I thought. I said 55K and he said okay. Now I’m wishing I asked for more.
My position is currently hiring and the starting is from 50K. They recently changed it. When I started last year the starting was posted from 45K. They offered me 45K and I negotiated to 48K.
So, is my calculation correct? With their 5K increase in budget my raise is only 2K (considering inflation, that’s nothing).
Is there any action I can take now?
So basically, if I don’t get a raise I will be forced to quit and find a job that actually pays enough to survive the next year.
If I don’t have enough money to pay for taxes, land, mortgage, car payments and miscellaneous emergency bills and be able to live like a human being and not like a 1600s surf servant... I’m not going to work.
Unless you’re hiring snot nose thieving high schoolers with felony charges, a 1.25c raise is a small loss compared to literally thousands upon thousands of hours and money and property lost due to theft and demoralized employees.
Everyone who works hard needs money. Suck it up buttercup or find someone else. It’s that simple. If you can’t afford it, then you may have to do some financial soul searching
Thank you for providing us with these 10 tips. I’m drafting an email with my specific request and I was already feeling prepared to write it out. However, your video gave me that special edge to help me avoid falling into any of the mistakes you’ve mentioned. I feel confident. If I get the raise, I’ll be back to give the update.Thanks!
How is it going
@@ruatahrahsel1625
They read it, tried to convince the owners of why I should be paid more, and they declined due to budget limitations. However, I was asked to hold on because they didn’t want to lose me. They were buying properties in 2022. Two months later I was offered a transfer to a property down the street and making $4 more an hour than where I was. I was asking for $5, but this was close enough.
However, exactly today, I found out that the company is buying a property in mid May and that it is bigger (which means bigger budget, more pay potential) and the kicker? It is 2.8 miles away from my house. I requested to be considered for the position. My current job is 40 minutes away from home. So the transfer to the new place probably pays more but at the very least I’ll get paid the same as my current position. I would save serious money on gas which at very least would technically be a pay raise. 😂
Anybody ever tell you that you look like Chris Pine? Thanks for this information. I will let you know how it goes.
Thanks Chris Pine! great video.
Well said! I loved all the practical oriented tips mentioned in this video. Keep up the good work. This is Anthony from Santacruz, Mumbai, India.
I'm calling my boss: "I have your daughter in the garage, if I don't get a raise, you'll see what I can do .... there's a lot of equipment here: hammer, chainsaw ... you son of a bitch"
You made some good points Chief and I think you're right everybody should tell their supervisor what they do for the company that's and why they should be compensated good job kudos to you
Is it a good idea if I email my boss to ask for a raise?
English is my second language and if I'm nervous I can't explain well what I want/need.
I would always try to have the conversation in person. Then if they have any objections you can have a chance to refute them Here's a structure on what you can say: ua-cam.com/video/UD-kIopsUGI/v-deo.html
Does anyone else notice he looks similar to Chris Pine
Another way can be just share this video with your boss with a smile :)
Wow the Chris Pine resemblance is strong.
Word of the year: “Douchiest”.
Deserve the raise ask for it…don’t get it quit on spot and tell them they only paid for a year of time
I don't know how to start a conversation with him, whether to approach him generally to ask for compensation or indirectly - after an review meeting

The Only way to get a raise is to have another job ready to move to. Then u can threaten them: PAY ME WHAT I WANT OR I LEAVE!
I work in HR and know that upper management isn’t going to cave-in when they hear that. If anything they may say no while thinking if the person doesn’t like it here than they can leave. Everyone is easily replaceable. Once you start asking for money or additional money after a pay increase management will know that you’re not happy and they won’t trust you
What if your boss can’t afford to give you a raise but you love the job?
I am in the process of asking for a raise at my current job . I over see a program currently but recently revived a job offer that paid we 2000 less but with lesser work. In this program I over see residential homes (5), with staffing and managers.
With the offer it will only be one residential home with 2000 less then what I am making now. My question is how would you approach this ?
Great and very Helpful...
I work at a hospital which has just been bought 4 months ago, as a Health insurance manager. I had been working here b4 it was sold as a an Assistant Health insurance manager. I'm going to ask for a raise... Do you think it's too early?
This is actually really great in theory. However, if you work for an actual corporation who has over 75 thousand employees..this is laughably naive and idealistic and not at all applicable to real life situations. They can pay you what you want and have several employees waiting to do your job, internally and outside the company. Try again.
Thank you. This is very helpful
Hey everyone, I’m currently trying to make a new channel on UA-cam about how to get in shape if you are very busy with your office job, or if you are a student and you can't get enough time for it.
Which is why I have two very simple questions:
1. As a very busy person trying to get in shape, what are the 2 biggest issues you’re dealing with?
2. Regarding getting your dream body, what would you wish for more than anything else?
Thanks so much in advance - looking forward to reading your answers!
You have shared such a wonderful insight. I have shared mine as well on my current video. I would love to hear your feedback.
Thanks dude. Very helpful stuff in this video, and all very good advice
thank you for this, you are very helpful and I like how genuine you are.
I was working 12 hours a day for £20, average pay for my area is £15 with no experience I've got 3 years experience. He went mental when I asked for a pay rise so I quit
Acknowledge. You've been a good employee. I appreciate your hard work.
Our work is based on results. So I'd be more than happy to pay a bonus or commission on great work turned in.
Unfortunately, if we're not improving we are losing value due to the competition.
Keep adding value and keep collecting those bonuses. The bigger the value added the more the bonus...
You try all 10 and the boss still says no
Because of this person Businesses lost millions of dollars
About an email to ask for a rise
Find another job with a better salary, ask for a raise without threatening, just ask as much as you offered in another place or a little bit more, then decide
This tactical approach shall be same to scholarship for university; any tips for the case? I have a meeting with an admissions Dean tomorrow!
Drop the music.... That is amazingly annoying . I don't think you need music for every video....
I work for my uncle and he pays me ten dollars a day I want a 100 but I ask and he said if I ask for raise he is going to fired
great ,, i was asking for that long time ago,,hx for sharing
Jesus Christ I hate being an adult! I really don't want to have this conversation with my boss. sigh
People who thumbs down this seem likely to be the complainers that claim to be underappreciated
Is it just me or does anyone else see a little bit of Channing Tatum :D :D :D :D Great vid. thx
Flo Heissler I would say more like Chris pine
Those were definitely some of the best tips ive heard in my rabbit hole today. Great advice!
Is it okay, to talk about the raise in your salary with manager, in between the year before your appraisal?
This just sounds like begging to me matey... pleeese boss...
Great insightful video. 170 dislikes don’t need a pay rise I guess.
Boss thinks If he gives me a raise I’ll work less because I’ll be making the same.
Makes sense, he has history with that where he gave a raise to a co-worker and that resulted in less working hours, as a boss I’d feel the same tbh, feels like paying more for less time.
I work remotely as web dev for a startup and I track my own time.
I get paid $5 now but still a good deal, it’s my first real job,.(23yo now)
And planning to start my business and being in a small startup, you just learn a lot.
Will discuss the raise tomorrow.
What if u left the company and you're still in touch with your boss like, once in awhile s/he's asking how you're doing and then at some point, hinted a question about if there's any potential u can come back then u found this video of "Distilled Man". You realized that his advises can work on your favor.
Thanks, Distilled Man!
...*that u realized to maybe negotiate an increase should u decide to come back to your ex-employer
Since when Leonardo DiCaprio has started giving advices on pay raise?
Great information thanks for the tips. Great presentation
Is it normal for some poeple to get paid less than their coworkers when they are doing the same job , work the same hours but they are not as experienced . That's happening to me right now . I haven't done something bad , im just the new guy .
Yes, it's normal for people to be paid different amounts. Is it fair? Not all of the time.
To understand if you deserve a raise, I would ask:
1. Are similar companies paying employees more?
2. Have you received more responsibilities since you've started your job?
3. Are you a high performer?
If you answer "yes" to 2 out of 3 questions, then I would consider negotiating a raise. :)
