Or im out. Job chose to raise. Im telling yall to start taking risks and know your worth. My ultimate goal is to be free from this system , but until then, these corporations gotta cut the check. Made myself indispensable.. They had no choice.

Nothin more liberating .. I was fed up with the job but decided to ask for what I wanted before I left.. The look on their faces when I demanded a raise was priceless.

Imagine telling that to a body of employees that are heavily unionized :obama2:

You'll be tossed in the bushes faster than you can say "B-b-b-b-but" and replaced with voracious quickness.

U gotta be good at what you do and you gotta be positioned to actually walk out

But yea. If everyone lived like this....

The job I had on the table as backup was trash..But I was positioned perfectly and knew it would be foolish of them not to cut the check.

IT people have been doing this for years :myman:...y'all just getting hip to this :mjpls:?

The key is....

1) You get a skill...
2) You master said skill...
3) You continue to set avenues for learning and growth so skill never becomes outdated...
4) Learn how to effectively say..."fukk you, pay me bytch! :pacspit:"


:ahh:

I hate to say it, but you can't teach people everything you know. I have co- workers who should be able to do my job, but wouldn't know where to start. I knew it would cost more to train and replace me than it would to cut the check. And I got every penny I asked for.

I haven't been in the corporate world that long, but I noticed when you're really good at something its harder to move up. These jobs like to keep you there because they love reliabilty and stability.

There are TWO keys to success in life...

1) Never tell anyone everything you know.
2) .....

Companies have been milking the economic downturn by giving weak raises and low starting salaries. There's so much fukkery going on man.

U gotta flip the script doe. If u wind up being one of the people they actually need to produce, u gotta exploit the shyt out of THEM. Going to work w/a couple months or years worth of savings and the comfort of knowing you can do shyt that your bosses and coworkers can't is completely different from going to work like 'man today mite be that day my nikkas i barely got enough in my account to buy a snickers bar'. People really underestimate the importance of positioning.
