How to get a pay raise without licking shoes
|
If you have a boss. Or if you are a boss. ​ You know what moves your ass, right? ​ You know it perfectly. ​ “No trouble”. That’s it. ​ So sad, and so true. ​ “Don’t bother me. Don’t put me in trouble. Over average results, but not too much, otherwise, I don’t know what objectives, bonuses, etc. discuss with you… My biggest fear? To be fired.” ​ This is many bosses’ minds. ​ You may like it or not, but that’s what we have. Specially in big corporations. ​ Being fired is the main worried of most bosses, screwed in a great seat with a good salary and the kids in private school, with the Audi Q7 to be paid yet, and the holidays to Mexico in a 4-star hotel already booked making the most of the latest promotion… ​ Well… now, you can do with this information whatever you want. Up to you. ​ I have a few ideas. You can pick up my brain in the link below... Only until 31 January.

The idea is that 80% of the best decisions, ideas, etc. come from the 20% of people. So, why having to spend more money on pizzas… Bezitos is known for saving to the penny… and the...
Yesterday I saw an orange New Beetle. I love cars. And this “orange” that seemed so eccentric and powerful reminded me a picture I saw in LinkedIn. The picture compares two parking lots. One in the 70s and another one today. In the 70s, you had a rainbow of colours. Green, blue, red, yellow, orange… Different tones… If you go today to a parking lot, you’ll see black, white, a few grey and fewer red and blue. We are in a world where it’s better not to grab attention. To go with the flow....
He was betrayed by his wife. Stop taking pills. Finishing studies. Recently married. Moved to a new town. Bought a house. In debt, for furniture and all the set up of a new life together. I’m pregnant. OK… Twins. Tough 7-8 months. Lots of medical issues. Risk. Stress. Danger. Anger and fear. All went well at the end. But things could not go that well any longer. Now he is a single dad. Moved away. Reorganized his life in a new country. From scratch. With two wonderful 14 years-old boys. When...
