A few days ago, Xiao Li sent me a private messageThin-skinned, how to raise salary with the boss is better.

I think it's not just Xiao Li's trouble, but most people's troubles. In the workplace, many people miss many opportunities for promotion and salary increase because of their thin skin. Especially as a working person, no one wants to mention a raise. However, many thin-skinned people, because of their timidity, always dare not ask their bosses for a raise, which also leads to many years of work without a raise. Based on this question, I interviewed some people who came over to see what these netizens had to say.

@不诚I don't think a salary increase has much to do with being thin-skinned, as long as you make beautiful performance for a certain project of the company, and then you bring the data to talk to the boss, at this time to talk about a salary increase, no matter how thin-skinned you are, the probability of a successful salary increase is still very high. On the contrary,No matter how thick-skinned a person is, if he has no performance, no matter how much he talks about a salary increase, it is useless. @白菜I used to be a very thin-skinned person, very introverted, and didn't like to talk much, but when I returned to life and went to work, I wanted to have a better life, and the salary increase was the best embodiment. As a person who has come before, I would like to say that the results of the work are the best bargaining chips for a raise, which is undeniable, but there is also a key point, that is, the mood of the boss will also affect whether you can apply for the results to a certain extent. It is recommended that timid friends, if you want to raise your salary, it is best to choose to start when the leader is in a good mood, for example, the company has just won an order, and the department has exceeded the performance appraisal target for this month.

@迷茫I was very thin-skinned, and when I raised my salary, I also did a lot of construction, and I was especially afraid that the salary increase would not be successful, and I guess I was embarrassed to stay in the company with a character like me. So, I applied for a salary increase last year, and before I raised it, I also found a few people in private, and if the boss didn't give me a raise, then I would pat my ass and leave. You think, if you are the boss, whether you get a salary increase or not, the other party is willing to do it, then why should I give you a raise. So,Since you can't talk about a salary increase, then find a home and use your salary to prove your ability. Of course, it's better to be raw than cooked, and if you can get a raise, it's still good to stay in the original company. @夏天I think that whether a person dares to ask the boss for a salary increase has nothing to do with being thin-skinned. Many people feel that they are very timid and will tremble when they talk to their boss. But I think that as long as you feel that you have a clear conscience in your job and you have enough data to prove that you have contributed to the company, then you negotiate a salary increase with your boss, you are very confident and confident in your heart. On the contrary, if you are thin-skinned and do not contribute much, you will be timid and unconfident when communicating with your boss. I remember when I joined the first company, the salary at that time was only 3,000 yuan, I took a big order within 2 months of joining, and then I asked my boss to give me a 3,000 salary increase afterwards. Even though I am a timid person, when I think of me contributing such a big list to the company, I am very confident at that moment, and I am also very confident to talk to the boss. My boss agreed to my request for a raise, and I thought, at this moment, my boss should be more nervous than we are, because he is afraid of losing a talent who can create value for him.

In summary:Being thin-skinned does not affect the negotiation of a raise, but the results of the work are. In short, no matter how thin-skinned you are, as long as you contribute enough, your words will be justified and confident. is like a sentence in "The First Half of My Life" in which He Han educated Luo Zijun:First you can replace anyone, and then no one can replace you. - That's the best bargaining chip for you to ask for a raise!
