Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Yeah, So, oh my gosh, evan listening to you guys forever,
- 0:05Speaker 1: but I actually kind of need some advice right now. Okay,
- 0:09Speaker 1: So my boss left my job last year and I
- 0:15Speaker 1: kind of just took over most of her work, and
- 0:20Speaker 1: my job doesn't want to give me the title or
- 0:23Speaker 1: a pay increase. But I'm basically like managing the team,
- 0:28Speaker 1: like them training all the new hires. I'm handling things
- 0:32Speaker 1: when like leadership isn't around, and leadership seems to be grateful,
- 0:37Speaker 1: like they keep calling me like a key player and
- 0:40Speaker 1: everything like that. But every time I like ask about
- 0:43Speaker 1: a promotion or a pay raise, they're like, not right now,
- 0:48Speaker 1: or they're thinking about restructuring the department anyways. But I
- 0:53Speaker 1: haven't seen them also like trying to hire for that position,
- 0:58Speaker 1: So I don't know, like I feel like, do I
- 1:02Speaker 1: confront them more? Do I just kind of wait it out?
- 1:05Speaker 2: Isn't that everywhere in America right now?
- 1:07Speaker 3: It's such a tough position to be in too, because
- 1:10Speaker 3: it's so hard to find a job right now that
- 1:12Speaker 3: you like don't really want to put yourself in jeopardy
- 1:14Speaker 3: by like saying too much, but then you always hear
- 1:16Speaker 3: like you need to fight like, if you are a
- 1:18Speaker 3: key player, they should pay you. It's just tough because
- 1:21Speaker 3: you don't know what position financially the company is in.
- 1:24Speaker 4: But also it's like every single one of us on
- 1:26Speaker 4: the show is now doing way more things than we've
- 1:28Speaker 4: ever done before. It just happens.
- 1:30Speaker 3: That's just kind of but almost like I feel like,
- 1:32Speaker 3: if she was a key player, throw her bonent, at
- 1:34Speaker 3: least give her the title. Like if you financially are
- 1:37Speaker 3: in a position to give her a raise, you could
- 1:39Speaker 3: communicate that, but then like keep her happy because she's
- 1:43Speaker 3: doing a lot more and just give her the title.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Like what I mean to me, it's.
- 1:47Speaker 5: Like that is beneficial because now you can have that
- 1:49Speaker 5: title to your resume in a case that you do
- 1:51Speaker 5: end up leaving the company, and then you have that
- 1:53Speaker 5: kind of credibility.
- 1:55Speaker 3: I mean, I would maybe at least go talk to
- 1:56Speaker 3: your bosses one more time and just be like, you know,
- 1:59Speaker 3: I have been really happy to step into this role,
- 2:02Speaker 3: and I understand you may not be in a financial position,
- 2:05Speaker 3: but I would I would hope that you could do something,
- 2:10Speaker 3: you know, to make me feel more appreciated.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't know, should I like threaten to leave.
- 2:20Speaker 3: I would only threaten to leave unless you're willing to leave,
- 2:23Speaker 3: because if they say then go, and all of a sudden,
- 2:25Speaker 3: it turns into this emotional thing and you're like, well
- 2:27Speaker 3: then fine bye, and then you're like, crap, I don't
- 2:29Speaker 3: really want to.
- 2:30Speaker 5: Go look for a job here.
- 2:31Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, So what line of work is it? I
- 2:34Speaker 4: have an idea. What line of work is it?
- 2:36Speaker 1: Yeah? Basically work in the office like logistics.
- 2:39Speaker 4: Okay, but what line of work like in other words,
- 2:42Speaker 4: here's what I'm saying. If you're so good at what
- 2:45Speaker 4: you do, find your favorite employee there, take them with you,
- 2:49Speaker 4: quit and start the exact same company and just do better.
- 2:52Speaker 4: Like Jerry maguire. Jerry McGuire left with me. Who's gonna
- 2:57Speaker 4: be I'm taking this goldfish.
- 2:58Speaker 3: It's the new year.
- 3:00Speaker 4: Start your own company or the horse and close them
- 3:02Speaker 4: down and give yourself the bigger title.
- 3:04Speaker 2: See you know, I would just change my email heading
- 3:11Speaker 2: to have the elevated title on the email heading and
- 3:14Speaker 2: see if anybody complains about it. Oh, just change your
- 3:19Speaker 2: set your own little elevated title. Nobody's gonna say a
- 3:22Speaker 2: thing that's insurance in the right font.
- 3:25Speaker 5: I feel like Andreie, like you should just keep your like,
- 3:28Speaker 5: keep on working, keep on grinding. What's meant for you
- 3:30Speaker 5: is gonna come to you. And exactly like Kyle said,
- 3:32Speaker 5: if it's really pressing you that much, just have that conversation.
- 3:35Speaker 5: Be like, can I Lee she's get the title. I
- 3:37Speaker 5: understand maybe we don't have the funds for it, but
- 3:39Speaker 5: I think you should keep working your butt off because
- 3:40Speaker 5: the good things are organized actually come.
- 3:43Speaker 4: That's very well said. Oh we'll have a great day,
- 3:50Speaker 4: she said, yoke sh
