i know this looks so stupid to ask here, but has any one been in this situation. I have been working very very very hard but my boss does not pay me what i deserve. Can some one tell me how can ask him to look into my salary and possibly increase it by another 40% - 50%. I know it sounds too much, but this is what i deserve now. trust me. :rolleyes:

oh, by the way, I am an IT professional and working in a professional field and have many years experience....lol, sachi. :closedeyes:

Here what i did to get rise. My experience may help you. I am also in IT in London

1> Work hard and get some of crucial arch work known only to me by making it complicated

2> Update my resume with higher role / responsibility shown.

3> give interview and get selected. My present job was for 35 k. I got 42 k offer

4> after few days when i got my offer. I send e-mail to big bosses moaning about present work anolomies

thus causing stir. Also let system have more problem and not giving real advice as how to fix it. Only moan

5> resign next day. Tell my boss, my moan has nothing to do with it. Basically due to family pressure and also high house market

I have to look for big salary to be on house market & also close to love ones. Though I love to work here.

6> boss talks to big boss. Now here is trick. U have to prepare for leave the job if I have not create a dependency.( read 1st step)

7> Boss offer to pay what is being offered. I says they offer 45 k. Boss say okay. I later though I could have tell them I was offered 48k.

8> But then there is limit to greed.

9> I enter house market last year. #

10> Now I am looking in market for job offer of 55k around. Story goes on till the next climax

If by "big bosses", you mean your boss's boss, then I would be thrown out of the company for sure if I ever did that. Your boss probably wouldn't like you going over his or her head in regards to salary without talking to them first. This would likely result in bridges being burnt.

What you did worked in your situation, and I am happy for you, but this surely shouldn't be considered a "guideline" on how to get a raise. It seems like a dangerous game of roulette, IMHO.

I agree with peacemaker

I don't think you need to give your managers an ultimatum right off the bat. Make a meeting, do what others have said, look at your job description, look at the roles you satisfy, and how you exceed them, and point this out, and use that as your justification.

Certainly, if you feel you're worth 30% or 40% more, then you'll be able to find another firm that feels the same way (if this is your true market value). I don't think you can expect that jump to happen overnight from where you are today, to expect it to go up by 40% tomorrow.

But if you love where you work, if there's an open culture, your superiors have good open-door policies about these things, then it's worth pursuing this. Talk to your HR department and see what they say about the situation as well.

And then, if still you feel like you're being ignored, then find another job that pays you what you expect to be paid. Go through the process, and before you accept that offer, let your bosses here know what the situation is, that you found another place that's paying you more. It helps if you're genuine and accountable. You earn credibility that way, and you don't burn bridges.... if 10 years from now you decide you want to come back to this firm in a supervisory role, it'll only help to leave on good terms.

You rock!!!! You just made my day for doing that!! Thanks! By the way, I had the one about judging people, but decided to show another lesson because I had that video there for a few weeks. I think I'll leave my signature as judging people because that's the one that I liked the most! Here is the judging video! :p

      Traveling in Punjab independently and safely (need good advice)

      By BhForce · Posted

      Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
