Controversy Project
My friend Xiao Liu worked in a company.
In seven or eight years, but the salary was raised once. In recent years, the company has refused to give him a salary increase on the grounds of the epidemic. Xiao Liu's supervisor gave him a move, saying that he would guarantee that he could give Xiao Liu a salary increase.
Xiao Liu is 32 years old this year, his hometown is Shanxi, graduated from 211 University with a bachelor's degree, and works as a software engineer in a private enterprise in Beijing with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan. This salary level is really not high in the first-tier city of Beijing. Xiao Liu has already bought a house in Beijing and got married, and he is under great financial pressure. Xiao Liu's supervisor said that he had repeatedly proposed to the vice president in charge of Xiao Liu's salary increase, but the vice president in charge kept finding various reasons to refuse. Once, the supervisor gave Xiao Liu an idea and asked him to simply resign, and the supervisor took Xiao Liu's resignation application and told the vice president in charge that he wanted to keep Xiao Liu on the grounds of salary increase, which would definitely work.
Xiao Liu's work performance is very good, and he has taken on important responsibilities in the project many times. His supervisor recognized him, and repeatedly proposed to the vice president in charge to give Xiao Liu a salary increase, but was always rejected by the leader.
A few months ago, Xiao Liu opened his resume on major recruitment platforms, and soon received interview invitations from many companies. The salary is indeed higher than what the company gives now. But at present, the company does have advantages, first of all, it is close to home, Xiao Liu drives a small electric donkey, and it will be to the company in ten minutes. So I don't spend much time commuting every day. Others are still crowding the subway, catching the bus, and waiting for Didi, but Xiao Liu has already arrived home to eat a hot meal. The second is that he is already very familiar with the company environment, and he has a relatively harmonious relationship with leaders and colleagues. The atmosphere in the company is relatively harmonious, and there is not so much intrigue and deceit. Xiao Liu felt that if the current company could give him a salary increase, he would definitely be willing to stay.
The supervisor had a good relationship with Xiao Liu, and took the initiative to give him ideas and find a way, using resignation as a bargaining chip to ask the big leader to give him a salary increase. Xiao Liu's supervisor went to talk to the vice president in charge many times, saying that Xiao Liu had already received an offer from a company and offered a higher salary. But how important is the project that Xiao Liu is currently responsible for, if he leaves, he can follow in the short term, but this handover process can not be completed in two or three months, and if he is next, it will definitely affect his other work, and at the same time, Xiao Liu may not do well.
In the end, the vice president in charge weighed it again and again, and finally agreed to give Xiao Liu a salary increase, and the salary directly covered the treatment he got an offer outside.
In the eyes of outsiders: the boss of the company is so virtuous, if you don't mention resigning, he will ignore your normal salary increase request. Xiao Liu resigned normally, and the big leader immediately agreed to give him a salary increase. As for the other things he did in the middle, Xiao Liu wouldn't say a word to others.
In the workplace, many part-time workers will encounter this situation, wanting to raise their salary with their bosses, but they don't know how to speak. However, the salary of employees in their own positions is often higher than their own. This, of course, will cause dissatisfaction among many old employees.
I don't think a salary increase has to be a threat to the company in the form of resignation.
Even if you leave your job, you should let the company take the initiative to give you a salary increase to retain you, rather than threatening the company to give you a salary increase. The best option for a salary increase is to show the highlights of your work so that your boss is willing to pay for your work.
But prepare for everything with both hands. At this time, you can open your resume, submit the position, and go to the job market to observe ** to see what kind of salary level you can have in the market with your current career status. If there is a better option and is better than the current job, then do not hesitate to change jobs. If there is no better option, then keep the status quo until you have developed enough professional competitiveness.
Finally, don't use resignation as a threat, unless you have irreplaceable job capabilities, otherwise maybe the bamboo basket will be empty.
