The gender pay gap is created both by a cultural view on what a women should do after having kids, and what women do to take in the role of a mom; why women with the same degrees and background are paid less each year after childbirth, which is why women without kids are paid practically the same as men. It’s not about how confident they are or agreeable, that is demeaning and pushing on misogyny. He is giving bad advice and statistically wrong advice, because if they ever have kids it won’t matter how agreeable they are or not.

This is true. I have gotten many raises and promotions simply by acting as if I was going to be walking out the door. The trick is not to "act" at all though. You actually have to be willing to leave if you are not given what you asked for. Same goes for getting the job in the first place. I have always found interviews to be fairly simple. I pretend in my mind that the job is already mine and that this is more of a performance review. You basically have to cultivate a persona lacking in any fear of unemployment and with the mindset that you are valuable. Easier said than done I suppose if you lack meaningful skills. Anyway. always remember that your employer isn't a benevolent entity that gives you money for no reason. They give you money because you are creating value for them, and when you realize that they are probably taking advantage of you to a grotesque degree it becomes easier to walk in the office with your dick swinging around and ask for what you deserve.

Schools and universities should offer negotiation classes and the comprehensive psychology that drives it. Everyone is different and the territory between agreeableness/disagreeableness is very nuanced from person to person and it's not a one-size-fits-all formula.

My experience with jobs and working is to prove yourself without question and work hard. Keep everything totally unemotional and even robotic after you’ve proved yourself. Never break or snap but plant a seed that you aren’t content without saying it after directly mentioning you “require” a raise. Throw the ball into your bosses lap and move on. You have to be proactive and if the person isn’t going to accommodate you, keep outperforming people and make advancement happen. Never settle or allow the boss to think they are actually anything.

The best way to get a pay raise is to give your two weeks notice. Take a raise. Work for 1 more year. Then leave. That last year, will be the most liberating year you have ever had working. You will not care about reviews. Your boss will know that you have the will to leave and he will want to keep you. And you know it is a short term gig till your better job comes along.

True. But, you have to build yout own worth. If you are not a competent employee, but you think you deserve more. That would be an illusion.

I wish we had one more professor like Jordan Peterson in our education system in Canada..

I love Dr Peterson. I needed to hear that 😊

I moved up in my company from a medical assistant to a registered nurse. The plan was to train me but my boss refused giving me a raise. On the day before I was to start training I emailed her with the pay range for RN’s in my area and asked For a raise. I got it. I had been told many times by my boss and hers that I was an asset to the company and a great employee but they were unwilling to show it with pay. I showed them that a fair wage was expected and I would have undoubtedly quit if it hadn’t been granted.

Great speech! Thanks!

Excellent stuff. I think it precipitates being conflict avoidant when you an agreeable person by nature. I mean if you're an agreeable person you're naturally not going to be confrontational.

i rent from my boss. on an etransfer, i added a note for the first time: "I used to think of my discount apartment as a kind of raise but after this past week, i'm not so sure." my bf was extremely skeptical -- that's not how you ask for a raise! and i got a dollar raise without my boss ever saying a word to me. lol. i was saying, "listen, i know my audience." we're both passive and awkward so i just made it way easier on us both lol with an indirect approach and humour

I used these tips today, as well as tips from Chris Voss. Negotiated 10% higher than the offer, and I’ll tell you it was like pulling teeth. If they tell you it’s the max they’ll offer, don’t even acknowledge it, give more reasons of why you deserve more. If they keep coming back with the same amount, tell them you’ll think on it, and reiterate that it’s too low. I went back and forth 4 times before they finally bumped it to an acceptable amount (but still not what I asked)

you don't get paid for how hard you work, you get paid for how hard it is to replace you.

supply and demand.

It’s not always the need to be liked it’s simply the morals of wanting to be fair rather than push everything and there’s nothing wrong with avoiding conflict however in the business environment that’s what you have to do because that’s what everyone is doing so then you can feel more at peace if you have morals that hold you back from pushing your self interests

Its quite interesting, on the other hand in my company they have premade windows how much they are allowed and when they can give you a payraise. However does not matter your skill or how long you work for the company they prefer to let you go and hire someone new eventhough it means they loose money in the overall.

Truer words have never been spoken. My fiancee has been stressing over her job with Insurance sales and refuses to confront her boss over pay and her tasks as she hates sales and this is literally as if he knew who she was point by point.

I don't remember who but a CEO of a huge company said a tactic to also use when asking for a raise (if salary) is to ask for a weird number. If you make 68k for instance, and ask for 74k, they'll drop that to 70k in an instant, whereas let's say you instead ask for $74,437, for whatever reason dropping that down to 70k seems like too much, so they may drop it down 74k due to that. maybe 73 if reaching, but in the majority of cases they won't drop it down to 70k.

@@canererbay8842, generally no. You're asking for what you want. They may ask why you think you deserve the raise, but they don't generally question the amount you ask for, just rebuttal it with another offer.

Powerful advises

Thank you Jordan

Most of the big organizations have a que system for the promotion ! Does not matter how much you write in yearly personal review, a good employee and an average/bad employee gets same raise averagely! This is one of the prime reason good employees leaves the companies for other companies!

Describing a problem is a good first step. Finding a solution to a problem properly identified is the tricky part. The truth about pay raises is that we are all competing for scarce resources. Best way to get a raise in pay is to go make more money. If you bring in $10 million dollars to a company that only earns $2 million dollars you have a really good chance of getting a nice raise.

Putting in my 2 weeks, has gotten me a raise almost everytime.

The thumbnail is absolutely brilliant.

That thumbnail lul

I've had 6 managers in 15 years after college (corporate environment): 3 of them made uninformed decisions and biased judgements, as well as showed little interest in hearing the details of the effort made that would otherwise prove and justify a merit increase. 1 actually listened and provided feedback---but ultimately only focused on their own progression. 1 was somewhere in the middle. Regardless, with each new manager, it seemed like starting all over again in terms of proving yourself. Because most of them weren't really listening nor cared, it truly was starting over. Despite their level of consideration and concern for their employees (well, at least for me and what I could perceive over time around me), somehow every manager was still promoted to the next level of management within the standard 2-3 year timeframe. Any additional time and effort made by a good manager was not met with additional reward. I've found this to be the norm, not the rare exception. It is a terrible reality that feels impossible to change without a top-down approach from the very top, and it isn't magically incentivised from anywhere in the middle. It certainly isn't incentivised organically via bottom-up through human integrity and good concience. Upper management dolts, identify better employees for the development and management tracks. Yes I said it. You're a bunch of dolts, who might actually benefit your companies through regular doses of undercover bossing, and an accompanying spine, to obtain actual truth, rather than making decisions based on the bullshit you're fed by your direct reports, who you've ignorantly incentivised and groomed to become good at spinning failures as victores in your progress update sessions. Well, I suppose you weren't an originating founder and see retirement approaching before long, so who gives a damn, right?

This is so so true

It would be fantastic if you can set subtitles, thank you

Thumb up for this perfect thumbnail

I started being more disagreeable lately and goddammit i feel so much better because i no longer care if people like me or not (to an extent of course)

This pops up as I'm about to ask for a raise. Thank you

The key to making decent money is to work for a decent employer to start with. If you work for an employer that's unwilling to pay a decent wage don't beat your head against the wall explaining why you deserve a raise. Use that energy to look for a different job. Im tellin you. Inless you have no other option get out of there as soon as possible.

I agree with this guy

powerfully and resolutely. NEVER accept a counter offer. Many employers will wait and then let the employee go. Employers have fragile self images and want to show others how much control they have. You take an offer, accept, and give your notice. Your current employer says No, no, no... here is another $20,000/year and an extra week of vacation (too good to be true) because they know in three to six months they are going to sack you. People do not leave companies they leave managers. Ask yourself if you like your employer but not your boss. Transfer to another department - that will one day look good to another company. If it really is your boss AND your company, move on.

So you ask for a raise but if they give you a better raise you refuse because theyll fire you? What?

Sadly, the only way I could get a raise where I currently work is by bringing an offer on the table. Only then , they will start knowing your value. Plus, my boss is weak and a lunatic. I just wanted to leave that last part there😂

Thanks.

Here's how I did it. I'm putting in my 2 weeks notice. I found an opportunity I have to take. I make this much, the new opportunity pays this much plus a sign on bonus. Took them 2 weeks to offer to match. Due to circumstances, it's best and more responsible to stay where I'm at. But I regret not leaving when I had the chance. It was a 25% raise. And I kill it with overtime pay.

@James Hunt I regret staying where I am because it's a toxic environment to be in. We were a family owned business. The family sold to a Venture Capitalist firm. They ran us hard into the ground for 4 years. Then after tripling our value, they sold us to an even bigger VC firm. Then after the last 2 years of being run into the ground even more, they merged us with another company they owned. The merger happened 2 months after I decided to stay. I stayed because they matched the offer that I got from the other company. I have 3 weeks vacation. It's a 15 minute commute to work. And I work in the industrial waste disposal industry. Which is pretty safe in terms of recession, depression or manufactured crisis, like Covid. I'm not sure, but I don't think many knew the merger was happening. Except the CEO. Who was more of a traditional do nohing but send what he perceives as inspirational emails and fleece the company for money and take all the credit CEO's. Because he left the day of the merger. The COO, left 2 months after the merger. The hiring manager left 2 weeks ago. The CFO left last week. Nothing really changed in the 6 years except the massive employee turnover and more work and the frequency and quality of raises. Although we have slowed down considerably, which could be a company policy/philosophy change, or it could be that since the CEO is gone, the of pushing sales to the breaking point of man, machine and the facilities is no longer the emphasis. Or we may be changing our pricing model to the reflect current market, as we've been at break even or low profit margins due to family owned handshake deals from when we were family owned. Or people are skeptical to work with us due to the merger and a new name. Or maybe the market has stabilized after the Rollercoaster ebb and flow of Normal, Covid, Rebound, Burnout. But since the merger, new supervisor's are being brought in from outside or other holdings, instead of promoting from within. Changes to payroll and other things. It totally fits within the scope of Josh's corporate cringe videos. So, I have a few plans to take care of, but look to get out by the end of 2021. The company I was leaving for, is still hiring, at a slightly higher pay rate. It's in a pretty safe industry as well. But I regret the decision to stay more and more every day, and I let everyone around me know it. Lol. Because I'm kind of hard to replace. I am replaceable, but it would be hard for them. Easier to keep me and pay more and put up with my horrible attitude, as I show up every day and do everything asked, stay late etc. It's all over time pay, so I'm compensated pretty well. So I get away with saying things like: That's extra, and my policy is that I don't do extra. I'm not here to work, I'm here to get paid. Everyday I'm here is the worst day of my life. I'm not here to sweat or get wet This place is a destitutional shit hole of doom from which there is no escape. Etc. Good times.

this man has thought me more than school & college combined

tfw you work in a country where u cant get fired a 6 month trial. this is just awesome, thanks a lot jp!

Yes! never be afraid to state your case and value to your employer.

Amazing

I got it by simply saying to my self enough is enough and prepared to leave if i was refused a pay raise. I took into account what i do for the company and the companies margins and if they cant afford a small $2 raise only $80 more a week than i wouldn’t have a future there anyways because if $80 is going to kill them they arnt doing so well. Also it was way over due.

I would like to know JP´s view about "the wiser head gives in"

I've been on the same exact salary for 2 years with no cost of living or annual increase. They force us to sign Annexures to our contracts which have us sign up for longer hours & more responsibilities but no increase in pay. I only have 5 days of leave a year with the other 16 days being automatically deducted for the December holidays. We are also expected to work weekends and be ready for work 7 days a week (meaning, we aren't allowed to have any alcohol or drugs in case they call us for last-minute plans for events/shows). No pay on weekends. They said they cannot afford to give us raises yet they've created 6 new job openings for graphics designers, a Producer and a few interns. My supervisor has fought for a raise and the only thing they could give me was Fuel claim at a rate of 3.61. So now I just drive a lot more during each month (outside the radius of 25km) just to claim fuel money (you always get a few extra cash with each claim) just to use that as an increase.

Those thumbnails are out of this world

Best way: 1. Get a better offer from another company. 2. Request a meeting with your boss, ask for the raise, present the offer received. 3. They either agree to your request and you get the pay raise or you leave for the other company and get the pay raise.

Get yourself into a position where if you weren't there they would be lost. I've done this twice. However it was the second time that was the most effective.

right on the money

This is kinda what I did naturally when I was asked to stay permanently for a contract job. I negotiated for $2 more per hour and ended up getting $1.50 instead. I knew to aim high and not mind a scale back in my request. It's interesting because despite being new and under qualified, I ended up making more than the woman who trained me. She's been there longer than me AND has the college degree for the job while I didn't. This woman in particular was very agreeable and I just don't see her seeming confident enough to ask for a pay raise even though imho think she deserves way more than what she's getting. Another thing is that I wasn't very good at the job at the beginning, I made a ton of mistakes, but me being there despite the mistakes was more valuable than me not being there at all. Especially when I DID end up getting better at the job, partly thanks to being more motivated thanks to the pay raise, even if for a little while. I was too valuable to not appease.

Most people are fungible and both the employer and employee know it. So you have to be special in your abilities, but you also need to be cautious in approach.

It is perfectly possible to be "agreeable" i.e., cheerful or pleasurable, and also VERY good at putting forward your own interests. I want to reassure the "agreeable" folks out there that you can be very powerful without having to learn to become "disagreeable" i.e., unfriendly or bad tempered. And for folks who already practice being "disagreeable", there IS another way that can get you what you want AND make you feel better about it. People want joy in their lives. Bring that to them, even when asking for a pay rise, and observe how influential you might be :-)
