In this episode of "Peacebuilding with Dr. Pollack," Dr. Jeremy Pollack addresses a caller’s challenge with requesting a raise from his employer, a company functioning like a startup, where the caller has worked for nearly three years without any salary increase. Despite multiple attempts to discuss a raise with both his boss, who is also the CEO, and HR, the caller encounters dismissive and evasive responses, leading him to seek advice. Dr. Pollack acknowledges the caller's situation and emphasizes the importance of feeling valued and seeing a clear career path within the company. He suggests a strategic approach to the conversation about a raise by recommending the caller to invite his boss for a casual lunch to discuss his performance, future at the company, and ultimately, the financial aspect of his career growth in a non-confrontational manner. This approach aims to open a dialogue about the caller's value to the company and explore a vision for his career trajectory, including the possibility of a raise based on various factors like company performance or individual contribution. Dr. Pollack outlines a four-step plan for the caller to implement, emphasizing the importance of framing the discussion around long-term career growth and mutual benefit, rather than immediate financial gain.
