Why won't the boss take the initiative to give employees a raise? There are three reasons

Many young friends left messages to me and asked: "I have been working for several years, but my salary has not changed. Should I ask the boss for a salary increase? I feel like I can't open my mouth for such a small amount of money, so why not mention it? , the boss won't take the initiative to speak." I replied uniformly: "The crying child has milk to drink, and he should take the initiative to raise it under reasonable circumstances." Some of them said that the boss is not stupid. As long as you have the ability, he will not refuse to give you a raise. If he does not give you a raise, he is afraid that you will run away. There is no need to ask for the hundreds of dollars. The boss wants it, it seems that he values ​​money too much.

In fact, in the workplace in China, except for a few formal companies and large enterprises, there is a mature process system for promotion and salary increase, and most other companies do not have such a process system. In addition to referring to the standards of the same industry, the salary level is mainly determined by the boss of the company. Although the boss is more savvy than each other, if he relies on your ability and the company cannot lack you, then he may take the initiative to give you a raise, but most of the time, as long as the employee does not mention it, the boss will definitely not take the initiative to give you. pay raise. There are three reasons:

1. The boss is in charge of every day, and he really doesn't care whether the salary of the employees should be adjusted.

China's corporate CEO system is immature. Whether the company can develop or survive depends entirely on the boss. Therefore, we have seen many companies' bosses' offices are magnificently decorated, but the bosses rarely work there. Every day I am busy talking about business and projects, running back and forth for the company's interests. Even when he returned to the company, he was busy sorting out internal management issues. He didn't have the time and energy to pay attention to whether the wages of the employees below were reasonable and whether it should be adjusted.

I remember very clearly, the first time I talked to my boss about resigning, the boss said that if it is a salary issue, then I can add it. Later I told him no, then he said to work for another month, I agreed, one month After that, when I left my job, the boss told other colleagues that he didn't know about it and that I didn't tell him, and I was immediately speechless. You think you are important, when in fact your boss doesn't have the energy to pay attention to you.

2. The boss thinks that the employee does not raise a salary increase because he has no opinion on the current salary

The positions of the employees and the boss are different, so the calculations are also different. As an employee, you will think that the salary is 3,000, the rent is 800, the meal is 1,500, and the transportation fee is 300, then there is not 1 point left in a month, so simple The boss should know. However, as long as the employees do not ask for a salary increase, the boss believes that the current salary is reasonable. After all, the salary setting is generally based on the job price in the market, and the difference between the upper and lower levels will not be particularly large. So as long as the employee doesn't say it himself, the boss will definitely not take the initiative to adjust it.

3. The boss wants the employee to not take the initiative to mention it, because it is one month less to send

In the eyes of employees, the boss earns so much money every month, isn't it trivial to add a little salary to himself? In fact, many bosses start out with careful calculations, and they will calculate more and more shrewdly than you. They know very well in their hearts which employees should be paid more and which employees should be paid more. They know this account, but as long as the employee does not mention it, he can save several months of money, and another, the employee's salary increase Often it's not a matter of one person. If one person gets a raise, should the others get a raise? This account is huge. Even if the employee proposes, the boss also has the necessary countermeasures. Either start with the bonus at the end of the year, or start with other subsidies. You can advance or retreat. The specific amount depends on your subsequent performance.
