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.

Every country, government,...
My wife is preparing a yoga retreat. She works hard. She needs “disconnection.” Fair enough. Now… the price? Let’s just say… You’d expect a 5-star hotel. Except the hotel looks… basic. Very basic. And there’s a small detail: There’s no food. No lunch. No dinner. Fasting, they call it. So basically… You pay like you’re getting a Michelin tasting menu… But the experience is: “You don’t eat.” Interesting business model. I don’t know what you think. Maybe you love paying for the “experience.” The...
“Learn the rules like a pro… so you can break them like an artist.” — Pablo Picasso I used to repeat this to my teams when the time came… But if you asked them what Vicente would do in almost any situation, the answer was simple: “Follow the contract.” Always.
