I go the easy route. I just make it seem like it was their idea to begin with...then no muss no fuss!

This is easy when you work with authority figures who want to take credit for everything to begin with.

the boss purposely avoided me yesterday to discuss salary raised.
On my way home he decides to text me with an offer i was not happy. So I gave him a call, let it ring and calls me back 5 mins later. My opening line was "Oh i know you can do so much better....i went into details of what i do, all the extra duties i do as if he didnt know...put the ball back in his court. Talk to me face to face, dont text me! |

Really! What a wuss and a terrible boss. Every employee deserves face time and recognition. You treat people the way you want to be treated. I hope you get what you want. Good luck.

Bad upper management is the root cause, by placing more value on flattery than competence, and surrounding themselves with gutless "yes-men."

My daughter was about to be born, I wanted to be home with family and help out as much as i can. I managed well when i was alone with infant and toddler lol. I value that time over extra $$$. I sat with my boss and told him that. I wanted him to match that. He said I will look into it over the weekend. I saw him walking around the offices trying to be busy. thanks if the offer isnt good, i will be looking. 20yrs with firm down hole. CTinline-six G35POPPEDMYCHERRY I couldnt reply back in text message so I called him..blood was boiling lol he didnt pick up because he wasnt ready for my call. My response wouldve been same if he had told me in person, he didnt want to hear it. |

Having a good work/home-time balance is great, but in the end you are at work to get paid. It sounds like you provide a good value to your employer and they know it. "Would I ever leave this company? Look, I'm all about loyalty. In fact, I feel like part of what I'm being paid for here is my loyalty. But if there were somewhere else that valued loyalty more highly, I'm going wherever they value loyalty the most." -Dwight Schrute (The Office)

I was kind of in the same boat. But I declined most offers because of travel. I did enough of that early on in my career. When I had my talk with my boss, I had the last 5 years of paperwork that my department implemented that saved significant money and/or improved processes in the plant. Plus I told him that if I were to ever decide to leave, they would need at least two people since I am the Engineering Manager, but I'm also over IT and the Help Desk. So while I may be writing code for an automated reactor process.....I may also be tasked that day with setting up a new user with a PC, e-mail, Terminal Services Access, etc. He's from a Sales background, so he doesn't understand the technical side of things and how the two roles can be so different. That sucks about the text. At least my boss was man enough to accept a Meeting Request to go over everything face to face. I hope you get what you are asking for. Used to be time invested meant something. The only thing I have going for me here is that our processes and chemistry are so difficult. Anyone coming in our doors are typically lost for the first year they are here if they make it that long!
