Update: Thank you so much, this worked for me and i just got the exact raise I asked for! I was just informed yesterday as my boss took me out for lunch to give me the good news! Thank you again! 😊
And from a company who owns 89 rental communities in 12 states and building more. Your video was very helpful to me. I'll use it at my next job that I'm currently looking for.

Stupid people will hit thumbs down , where else can you get this kind of proper step-by-step advice . Thank you sir what a helpful thing you've given us .
Great tips. I just wrote my boss a written request for a raise and put main points in it as to why I feel they should "consider" me for a raise. I also gave them a full attached copy of what my job duties currently are. I am waiting on the word back for the appointment time that I can discuss this with my boss. I feel this is the least threatening because I gave him the information ahead of time and did not walk in and catch him off guard.
This has really helped me objectively formulate my salary and commission review for 2022 - Thank you for giving me the confidence in why im saying what I say and what I believe. Really helpful
My opinion, just quit and go elsewhere for a bump. Only approach this if you feel staying with some company for the next 10 yrs is your plan and it's worth it. There's no loyalty in employee-employer relationships
I just asked my boss for a pay raise after 6 months of working (at a restaurant) and he gave me the equivalent of two pay raises because he didn’t even realize I hadn’t gotten one yet. Sometimes all you have to do is ask.
@@rightcoast7049 Our manager employs new people and pays them the " new market value " $ 15,000 nzd + and more while he under pays and under values staff with 20 + years service that keep the place running , and expects us to train them.... Arsehole.
I'd love to have had some specific examples for problems a boss would have with giving a raise, their concerns or arguments. If I'm honest the only one I can really think of would be funds available for payroll.
This is so helpful but most of all I appreciate the way you lay the points out plainly with great examples. I laughed at your impressions of ppl ready to leave if they don’t get what they want 😂 So glad you didn’t just drag this on and were very articulate. The best video on this topic I have seen yet. Thank you sir!
The Distilled Man btw, I’m using your tips as we speak and my supervisor completely respected the way I came to him about it. He has set up an invite to discuss this coming Monday with our director and he actually believes that I’m due for a bump. Without watching your video I would have went about it the wrong way for sure. Plus the way you suggested we handle this is completely in line with my values so it’s a plus for sure! 👍🏾👍🏾
The best strategy is the "walk away" . If they are adamant about not giving a raise and you are the best of the best in your field leaving them is the best revenge..
Thanks for this video - it's a really smart and classy way to approach the situation. Especially about keeping the conversation positive and mutually respectful. Nice!
Nice video ! I suggest that you make a video on how to ask for a employment contract renewal in the presence of multiple generous job offers on the other side ! How to politely ask for a salary raise and leverage the whole situation ... Thanks a lot
I've been looking at youtube and reading articles on the subject of raise negotiations. This is my favorite one because he really stresses some honest introspection. I love the "fantasizing with coworkers" part- I am so guilty of this. I will be sure to adjust my attitude before I breach the raise subject, luckily for me it's my yearly raise so it's more a matter of "how much."
Thank you for providing us with these 10 tips. I’m drafting an email with my specific request and I was already feeling prepared to write it out. However, your video gave me that special edge to help me avoid falling into any of the mistakes you’ve mentioned. I feel confident. If I get the raise, I’ll be back to give the update.Thanks!
@@ruatahrahsel1625 They read it, tried to convince the owners of why I should be paid more, and they declined due to budget limitations. However, I was asked to hold on because they didn’t want to lose me. They were buying properties in 2022. Two months later I was offered a transfer to a property down the street and making $4 more an hour than where I was. I was asking for $5, but this was close enough. However, exactly today, I found out that the company is buying a property in mid May and that it is bigger (which means bigger budget, more pay potential) and the kicker? It is 2.8 miles away from my house. I requested to be considered for the position. My current job is 40 minutes away from home. So the transfer to the new place probably pays more but at the very least I’ll get paid the same as my current position. I would save serious money on gas which at very least would technically be a pay raise. 😂
You seem to want to take 100% of responsibility off the employer. They should be able to recognize and reward good employees.... if people are having to go ask for raises, then maybe that employer has an issue with recognizing talent and rewarding it. And if employees wait until "the breaking point" to ask for a raise, it's because their employer has created an adversarial environment where employees can feel free to communicate their needs..
totally agree with you. I focused on the employee, because as the employee, it is much easier to change your behavior than to change a company culture. this might be a whole separate video, but if you recognize that you're in a place that systemically doesn't reward talent, your easiest choice is to go elsewhere rather than try to change the company.
I've had an employer once where he been playing dumb and pushing back all kinds of reviews and raise, and low ball everybody. I don't hit breaking point and ask for a raise, because it doesn't work , i hit a breaking point and call quit. He then turn around want to offer 30% raise but it's too late. Every so often you meet a bad employer, and you'll be surprise there's a lot out there...
Great video. I’ve been doing presentations the last few months with my manager to convince her to create a management position for me and to give me a corresponding pay raise. I hadn’t watched this video but it is reassuring to know that I was following the right track. In the next month or so, I’m going to give a final presentation to bring it all together. So far they have been receptive and I’m hoping that will continue. My whole philosophy is provide examples of where I have created value, provide examples of what I’m doing currently to create value, and provide examples of what I’m going to do in the future to continue creating value.
Nick Miller / Hope this goes well / went well! The fact your posturing WHY a new role is needed already shows you’ve thought about what THEY get out of you getting the new role : raise ! GL MAN!
Really great information. Just wish I saw this before I asked. I did the worst thing and compared my self to a new employee that is making more than me. He was pissed 😤 lol
Good video. I’m stressing over asking for a raise. My job responsibilities have greatly increased without the pay. I feel better prepared after watching this video!
You made some good points Chief and I think you're right everybody should tell their supervisor what they do for the company that's and why they should be compensated good job kudos to you
I don’t know what I did before CZcams lol. I probably threatened my boss and rage quit. This took some weight of my shoulders and now I’m ready to approach this conversation logically instead of emotionally.
brilliant!!! Remember about having alternatives to boost your confidence n increase your Batna, be ready for negotiations n long term negotiations n improvement of self and of the company, be ready to risk n challenge your boss as he may appreciate your courage feedback n collecting the advice remember that there are many different strategies on the raise issue depending on the industry job experience n time of the company which The Distilled Man has mentioned. impressive video congratulations!
I have just got my compensation letter this year and when I saw that i have got only 4% raise, i was looking for points and found this video. So should I go to my manager or senior manager or HR to negotiate for a salary hike?
Good advice. But I think knowing context is important too, to form a strategy. Financial situation of the company, easy or hard to find new employees, track record of neputism in the company...
What if u left the company and you're still in touch with your boss like, once in awhile s/he's asking how you're doing and then at some point, hinted a question about if there's any potential u can come back then u found this video of "Distilled Man". You realized that his advises can work on your favor. Thanks, Distilled Man!
Pay raises are good in most cases but in retail or at a restarant people with raises may make less money because of there hours are being cut. But if you are a good valuable employee that will still accept to get paid the standard wage you will get more hours and make more than the people with raises. It only works in those scinarios though. If you work any where else ask for a raise.
I work in retail and my coworker got bumped up a dollar, I work harder than my whole team, and have even managed when my boss isn't around. Hopefully this talk goes well
My manager has left the company. The Boss asked me to take over his role. I said: I am happy he has believe in me. Then it became clear he wanted to wait a half year for a pay raise. Not even sure I will get it!!! It will be based on company result. I am now at a point to tell him to give me X amount or look for someone else. I wont do extra work for free. It made me first happy. Now I feel like he was trying to look a cheap solution.
Acknowledge. You've been a good employee. I appreciate your hard work. Our work is based on results. So I'd be more than happy to pay a bonus or commission on great work turned in. Unfortunately, if we're not improving we are losing value due to the competition. Keep adding value and keep collecting those bonuses. The bigger the value added the more the bonus...
Hi Kyle, I recently joined a new office and it will be our 3-month review since this is our agreement when I joined the company (when I lower my rate to start out as trial). A lot had happened, and for one I proved my capability, and secondly the person I'm working with is on maternity leave and I've been working extra hours to fill two shoes and meet every deadlines, on average 48 hours every week. I'm not sure what is the best way to approach this. I know by law employees are suppose to get overtime x1.5 pay but I've never heard that's happened in our industry. Can you please advice what is the best way to approach this without sounding too greedy? Thank you very much!
My company would act like I pried the money from their hands, regardless. If the owner of the business I work for had it her way, I'd be doing 10 times more work than I am, working 365 days straight without time off, for the same measly $9 an hour they've been paying me since I started working there two years ago. My job over those two years has evolved immensely from what it originally was, and as such, my workload has nearly quadrupled, but heaven forbid they offer a fucking raise!
yes, the point of the video is that you don't wait for them to offer. You try to find the most diplomatic and persuasive way to ask. But if you're feeling negative about the company and you have a chip on your shoulder, you have to be careful, because that will come across.
I've tried negotiating with them. I've asked politely, explained my reasons that I feel they should be giving me a raise, this, that, and the other. All I get for a response when I ask is them telling me they're not offering anyone a raise at this time. So, yes. I do feel negative, and I'm sure many people I work with realize I'm a bit torqued off by the management's inability to do the right thing when it comes to rewarding staff as they work their way up in the company. That's why I said they'd still act like I ripped the money straight out of their hands if they gave me a raise. They literally don't like investing in raises for their staff. I'm under the assumption that I am going to have to move on to a different company just to get the money I deserve. The only problem is I work in radio broadcasting, and most on-air gigs want 3-5 years experience, meaning I'd have to struggle through one more year of this crap before I'd be considered elsewhere, or I'd have to take a literal demotion back to board operator/studio engineer (a job with virtually no hours, that is well below my skills and training, making similar pay to what I am now) and work my way back up if I do move on to so called greener pastures. I'm just not sure I can afford to do that at this time.
HM The Tsar of Russia when you do get a new job dont feel that you have to give them 2 weeks notice. It's not like when they fire you they would do that for you. I'm blessed that I do get raises but the amount of work especially that we have more business coming I am going to ask for a raise. I have seen people come to work in other dept with nowhere the amount of support and work I do get we get paid the same or they get more..if I stay quite nothing will change
How effective would it be to come to the meeting with a Proposal laid out with bullet points? I'm asking because the boss might cut you off from speaking from the beginning? Could there be a more business legal approach? Lastly, what to do if your immediate boss ends up doing nothing?
This video it’s a little differently after call good. If you ask for a raise when you know the company is struggling they probably won’t give it to you and then they’re going to think that you’re not happy
Boss thinks If he gives me a raise I’ll work less because I’ll be making the same. Makes sense, he has history with that where he gave a raise to a co-worker and that resulted in less working hours, as a boss I’d feel the same tbh, feels like paying more for less time. I work remotely as web dev for a startup and I track my own time. I get paid $5 now but still a good deal, it’s my first real job,.(23yo now) And planning to start my business and being in a small startup, you just learn a lot. Will discuss the raise tomorrow.
Question... When I was first hired, I was told that a pay raised could be discussed at my year end review. I've finished my first year but haven't seen any indication of a such review. So, should I start the conversation by mentioning the performance review or just discuss the raise independently?
You can discuss this as part of your performance review, it's the perfect opportunity and less awkward than bringing it up separately. Additionally, it's not the end of the year yet so it should be in a few month's time. If in doubt, ask your manager when they usually conduct these.
Great and very Helpful... I work at a hospital which has just been bought 4 months ago, as a Health insurance manager. I had been working here b4 it was sold as a an Assistant Health insurance manager. I'm going to ask for a raise... Do you think it's too early?
I feel like I might be overthinking myself to death. He's over here talking about "the business" and how it's doing and "getting a 10k salary bump" I work in groceries as a stocker and I just came here to learn how to ask for a small bump of 7.25 to 8 dollars an hour...
Now what if I just got a raise of 25 cent and they have me filling in for the manager constantly and doing other thing on top of my main job... while every one else get paid more than me for just one job and they started off at more than I did and they get to take breaks every couple hours while I cant because I'm filling in for the manager???
Just came back after the talk about compensation, hope I made all the mistakes which you told not to make. He told me to give him the promise of output for each month, based on that he'll fix the compensation.
The Distilled Man Yes I am feel good that conveyed him what's on my mind and I can carry forward with my work... +/- 'ly gave him an opportunity in management skill. Hope he doesn't see this video or my comment ;)
People don't want to feel valued at work. People want basic needs met.The expectation is to make sure my bills are paid and in return i make you money.
Never ask for a raise from a business that doesn't want to grow. definitely get a better salary from a clearly growing business. That's one life lesson I've learned, and so long as the business is growing and wants their employers to grow with the business, you can definitely get a raise.
Hi. I need prompt advise. I had my performance review last week and got very positive feedback. At the end of the meeting I was offered 53K (said by HR). I took a moment of silence and boss (CEO) asked what I thought. I said 55K and he said okay. Now I’m wishing I asked for more. My position is currently hiring and the starting is from 50K. They recently changed it. When I started last year the starting was posted from 45K. They offered me 45K and I negotiated to 48K. So, is my calculation correct? With their 5K increase in budget my raise is only 2K (considering inflation, that’s nothing). Is there any action I can take now?
I am in the process of asking for a raise at my current job . I over see a program currently but recently revived a job offer that paid we 2000 less but with lesser work. In this program I over see residential homes (5), with staffing and managers. With the offer it will only be one residential home with 2000 less then what I am making now. My question is how would you approach this ?
I would always try to have the conversation in person. Then if they have any objections you can have a chance to refute them Here's a structure on what you can say: czcams.com/video/UD-kIopsUGI/video.html
Deborah Francis I probably won't do a video on that, but I did do a Father's Day gift guide on my blog: www.thedistilledman.com/fathers-day-gift-guide-2018/
I was working 12 hours a day for £20, average pay for my area is £15 with no experience I've got 3 years experience. He went mental when I asked for a pay rise so I quit
Great video. I am individual running a entreprise named 'Spark Technology' a service industry, i make video on the products and suggest promotional ideas. I have got two clients as of now, and they liked my work after 4 review meeting. Initially when i approached them i said 'you can pay me any amount as per the satisfaction of my service', i haven't completed the project yet, because he said we should have more reviews on the 1st project so that i will have an idea of what his expectations. Now I wanted to ask him some amount for my service till now. I didn't get an idea how to approach him until I watched your video. Thanks a lot.

My idea is, you should look for a promotion within 2-3 years. Cause you usually be ready for next step in your career.
That, but then hear we can't give you a raise...
I think im going to ask for my raise tomorrow all i need is the confidence
Did you ask ? I need to ask but I'm socially awkward and introverted so it's extremely difficult for me to even think about doing it. 🙈
Im scared argh lol
Did it work?
And so??
Puts on your raise.

My manager has left the company. The Boss asked me to take over his role. I said: I am happy he has believe in me.
Then it became clear he wanted to wait a half year for a pay raise. Not even sure I will get it!!! It will be based on company result.
I am now at a point to tell him to give me X amount or look for someone else. I wont do extra work for free.
It made me first happy. Now I feel like he was trying to look a cheap solution.
Great information thanks for the tips. Great presentation
Acknowledge. You've been a good employee. I appreciate your hard work.
Our work is based on results. So I'd be more than happy to pay a bonus or commission on great work turned in.
Unfortunately, if we're not improving we are losing value due to the competition.
Keep adding value and keep collecting those bonuses. The bigger the value added the more the bonus...
I punched my boss in the face
Jk
Did it work?
no don't, jus ask boss for more money even if he's trying to cut costs
That’s the easy way lol
AWESOME VID, really helpful! i will use these tips on my next appraisal
thanks Evan! Glad you found it helpful.
Thank you , good one
Great tips...i will start to make my preparation....i will let you know in feel days 😌
Hi Kyle, I recently joined a new office and it will be our 3-month review since this is our agreement when I joined the company (when I lower my rate to start out as trial). A lot had happened, and for one I proved my capability, and secondly the person I'm working with is on maternity leave and I've been working extra hours to fill two shoes and meet every deadlines, on average 48 hours every week. I'm not sure what is the best way to approach this. I know by law employees are suppose to get overtime x1.5 pay but I've never heard that's happened in our industry.
Can you please advice what is the best way to approach this without sounding too greedy? Thank you very much!
this is a wonderful material
My company would act like I pried the money from their hands, regardless. If the owner of the business I work for had it her way, I'd be doing 10 times more work than I am, working 365 days straight without time off, for the same measly $9 an hour they've been paying me since I started working there two years ago. My job over those two years has evolved immensely from what it originally was, and as such, my workload has nearly quadrupled, but heaven forbid they offer a fucking raise!
yes, the point of the video is that you don't wait for them to offer. You try to find the most diplomatic and persuasive way to ask. But if you're feeling negative about the company and you have a chip on your shoulder, you have to be careful, because that will come across.
I've tried negotiating with them. I've asked politely, explained my reasons that I feel they should be giving me a raise, this, that, and the other. All I get for a response when I ask is them telling me they're not offering anyone a raise at this time. So, yes. I do feel negative, and I'm sure many people I work with realize I'm a bit torqued off by the management's inability to do the right thing when it comes to rewarding staff as they work their way up in the company. That's why I said they'd still act like I ripped the money straight out of their hands if they gave me a raise. They literally don't like investing in raises for their staff.
I'm under the assumption that I am going to have to move on to a different company just to get the money I deserve. The only problem is I work in radio broadcasting, and most on-air gigs want 3-5 years experience, meaning I'd have to struggle through one more year of this crap before I'd be considered elsewhere, or I'd have to take a literal demotion back to board operator/studio engineer (a job with virtually no hours, that is well below my skills and training, making similar pay to what I am now) and work my way back up if I do move on to so called greener pastures. I'm just not sure I can afford to do that at this time.
HM The Tsar of Russia when you do get a new job dont feel that you have to give them 2 weeks notice. It's not like when they fire you they would do that for you. I'm blessed that I do get raises but the amount of work especially that we have more business coming I am going to ask for a raise. I have seen people come to work in other dept with nowhere the amount of support and work I do get we get paid the same or they get more..if I stay quite nothing will change
Sounds like time to look for another company / job man!!! Most valuable thing we’re GIVEN is time .. work is literally trading TIME for MONEY .. 👌
How effective would it be to come to the meeting with a Proposal laid out with bullet points? I'm asking because the boss might cut you off from speaking from the beginning? Could there be a more business legal approach? Lastly, what to do if your immediate boss ends up doing nothing?
Wow the Chris Pine resemblance is strong.
Thank you for this!
Good luck if you're asking for a raise! Did you get it? More helpful tips : czcams.com/video/UD-kIopsUGI/video.html
thanks 🙏 helped a lot
I appreciate your structured approach and like anything in life, you got to have a plan man! Thanks again my friend!!
So nice, I watched it twice! Thanks :)
Damn this dude looks a lot like chris pine.
My first thought
Came to comment that same thing
If they make a Star Trek ‘3’ .. Chris pine should ask for a pay rise ;)
Funny, I thought the same thing!
I also thought the exact thing
Love this! Thank you for sharing
What if the company is struggling to recruit - is that a good time to ask for a pay rise and hint there are offers coming in with much higher pay?
This video it’s a little differently after call good. If you ask for a raise when you know the company is struggling they probably won’t give it to you and then they’re going to think that you’re not happy
Boss thinks If he gives me a raise I’ll work less because I’ll be making the same.
Makes sense, he has history with that where he gave a raise to a co-worker and that resulted in less working hours, as a boss I’d feel the same tbh, feels like paying more for less time.
I work remotely as web dev for a startup and I track my own time.
I get paid $5 now but still a good deal, it’s my first real job,.(23yo now)
And planning to start my business and being in a small startup, you just learn a lot.
Will discuss the raise tomorrow.
What do you do if you have already made some of these mistakes?
Question... When I was first hired, I was told that a pay raised could be discussed at my year end review. I've finished my first year but haven't seen any indication of a such review. So, should I start the conversation by mentioning the performance review or just discuss the raise independently?
You can discuss this as part of your performance review, it's the perfect opportunity and less awkward than bringing it up separately. Additionally, it's not the end of the year yet so it should be in a few month's time. If in doubt, ask your manager when they usually conduct these.
Great and very Helpful...
I work at a hospital which has just been bought 4 months ago, as a Health insurance manager. I had been working here b4 it was sold as a an Assistant Health insurance manager. I'm going to ask for a raise... Do you think it's too early?
That was awesome man
Thank you for the upload.
This was very helpful thank you!
you're welcome, Alyssa!
I feel like I might be overthinking myself to death. He's over here talking about "the business" and how it's doing and "getting a 10k salary bump"
I work in groceries as a stocker and I just came here to learn how to ask for a small bump of 7.25 to 8 dollars an hour...
My man I'm a stocker too. You are getting ripped off hard, even with 8 an hour.
Now what if I just got a raise of 25 cent and they have me filling in for the manager constantly and doing other thing on top of my main job... while every one else get paid more than me for just one job and they started off at more than I did and they get to take breaks every couple hours while I cant because I'm filling in for the manager???
Find another job
Just came back after the talk about compensation, hope I made all the mistakes which you told not to make. He told me to give him the promise of output for each month, based on that he'll fix the compensation.
Congratulations, it sounds like things are moving in the right direction. Hopefully you feel good that you had the talk.
The Distilled Man Yes I am feel good that conveyed him what's on my mind and I can carry forward with my work... +/- 'ly gave him an opportunity in management skill. Hope he doesn't see this video or my comment ;)
VERY HELPFULL THANKS
People don't want to feel valued at work. People want basic needs met.The expectation is to make sure my bills are paid and in return i make you money.
Great video,thanks for sharing
This tactical approach shall be same to scholarship for university; any tips for the case? I have a meeting with an admissions Dean tomorrow!
I don't know how to start a conversation with him, whether to approach him generally to ask for compensation or indirectly - after an review meeting
Thanks bud
Never ask for a raise from a business that doesn't want to grow. definitely get a better salary from a clearly growing business. That's one life lesson I've learned, and so long as the business is growing and wants their employers to grow with the business, you can definitely get a raise.
Thanks Chris Pine
Is it okay, to talk about the raise in your salary with manager, in between the year before your appraisal?
Thanks man!
i find its a chore to get a raise. i know after sometime at one company, im worth more than my current pay.
I agree, will be nailing it in my annual review! Exactly what I needed!
Hi. I need prompt advise. I had my performance review last week and got very positive feedback. At the end of the meeting I was offered 53K (said by HR). I took a moment of silence and boss (CEO) asked what I thought. I said 55K and he said okay. Now I’m wishing I asked for more.
My position is currently hiring and the starting is from 50K. They recently changed it. When I started last year the starting was posted from 45K. They offered me 45K and I negotiated to 48K.
So, is my calculation correct? With their 5K increase in budget my raise is only 2K (considering inflation, that’s nothing).
Is there any action I can take now?
Thanks a lot that was very helpful
you're welcome, Jay!
Good information
Great video, thanks for posting, found you in a search and glad I did! *New Sub!
awesome, thanks!
I am in the process of asking for a raise at my current job . I over see a program currently but recently revived a job offer that paid we 2000 less but with lesser work. In this program I over see residential homes (5), with staffing and managers.
With the offer it will only be one residential home with 2000 less then what I am making now. My question is how would you approach this ?
great video.
thanks for the video !
you're welcome, Brad! Glad you liked it.
Is it a good idea if I email my boss to ask for a raise?
English is my second language and if I'm nervous I can't explain well what I want/need.
I would always try to have the conversation in person. Then if they have any objections you can have a chance to refute them Here's a structure on what you can say: czcams.com/video/UD-kIopsUGI/video.html
Could you do a video on gifts that fathers will really appreciate?Thanks..
Deborah Francis I probably won't do a video on that, but I did do a Father's Day gift guide on my blog: www.thedistilledman.com/fathers-day-gift-guide-2018/
I was working 12 hours a day for £20, average pay for my area is £15 with no experience I've got 3 years experience. He went mental when I asked for a pay rise so I quit
You're the best
good
Great video. I am individual running a entreprise named 'Spark Technology' a service industry, i make video on the products and suggest promotional ideas. I have got two clients as of now, and they liked my work after 4 review meeting. Initially when i approached them i said 'you can pay me any amount as per the satisfaction of my service', i haven't completed the project yet, because he said we should have more reviews on the 1st project so that i will have an idea of what his expectations. Now I wanted to ask him some amount for my service till now. I didn't get an idea how to approach him until I watched your video. Thanks a lot.
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful.
