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.

Economic powerhouse region. Millions of inhabitants. Constant truck traffic. Banks were queuing to through their money to the asphalt plant. Making...
The system worked perfectly. The satellites tracked the trucks. The software calculated the tolls. The invoices were ready. The gantries were already installed across France. 173 of them. Steel structures over highways, quietly waiting for trucks to pass and pay. The project cost almost €1 billion. It was called the Écotaxe Poids Lourds. The idea was simple. Heavy trucks should pay for using the roads. Especially foreign trucks crossing France. Elegant. Who would say no to such a great idea?...
My wife had been unsuccessful for a while. She tried three times. Her ads expired those three times. $75 the higher bid. She wanted at least 100$ for an almost new bike that our son used 5-10 times max. She published the ads with 100$. The price new: 160$. She told me. I listened. Shall I call the buyer that offered me 75$? No, I said. Increase the price to $120 in the ad. Seriously? But new it’s 160 and this one is almost 2 years old. 120$, go, try. 24 hours later… Sold, 100$. WOW! My...
