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.

I repeat. 52 PPP fever everywhere. The “future” of infrastructure. And we’ll build Speedy Gonzales speed. Spoiler: It didn’t end well. Actually, it...
Last week I lost a dream villa in Auckland. In the most expensive neighbour in the country. Full renovation to be made to earn around 500k$ with the trade… although this one was for me. Amazing views of the sea and the Auckland Bridge… from the kitchen and dining area. Walking distance to downtown. I just needed to counter offer around 10-15k$ more and I got it. But I was weak. Hesitant. With lots of fears and doubts… Or maybe not that much. On reflection, I have my rules. Minimum discount on...
“We want a PPP… but we don’t want to take any risk.” That scream comes from the public and private sectors alike… And every time I hear that, I already see the coffin. Today’s story is not about a PPP that went wrong. It’s about a PPP that never even made it to the starting line because the government tried to dump so much unmanageable risk on the private sector that the private sector simply said: “Good luck, amigos.” And walked away. Welcome to the Nairobi–Thika Highway PPP attempt (early...
