Brought up my potential job promotion and tactics to approach it recently. Well I got the offer after corporate folks came in and got to know me better and I was able to show them my value.

Well, I got an initial offer that was a measly 21% raise. A solid 17% below what my predecessor would have made after a merit raise, who I had to teach basics to smdh...but she was an external hire. And the person before her would have been making 16% more...so that is the standard atp.

So I immediately declined and notified them of an incoming counteroffer. All I got Monday morning was... a shower of praise from the Plant Manager and HR manager. They absolutely loved the "testical fortitude" 😅 and gumption. To me it just seemed obvious, as I'm getting hit up by headhunters every other week and know my FMV, but I guess this is rare at my plant (probably why it continues to happen lol).

Now I'm in the position of setting the counter. I have an excellent bulletpoint sheet set up, but for the $$ figure...do I present my low end and hope they accept it or the high end and let them "meet me in the middle"? I'm thinking of the latter. I've come this far and am seriously ready (my direct report knows it) to turn in my notice if they can't reach my low-end (in the middle between current offer and my high end). If I left, they would be fuzzed 10 times over and my boss might not even stay (been there 40 years). I have all the leverages, so I'm shooting my damn shot and worst comes to worse I'll cashout 1 btc and find the right job. I'm coming to play ball and bringing my big wood.

Wish ole Devo the best 🤣

It worked great on a toothache I had a while back. That may have been some sort or tissue inflammation. . . it knocked it out. Crazy how good it worked. Doc & a few others on here say to stay away if possible, but the pain was so bad I took it anyway. Worked for the couple days I needed it. Anyway, if you have any and the pain is really bad, I'd take it.

Have any dilaudid?? 👀

Stick it to them. Remember that you have to be willing to walk to exert true leverage, so be ready to walk. Maybe go get a competing offer to have your ducks in a row

All that complaining about how we're not consensus #1 and here we are slugging it out with a school I've never heard of :rolleyes:

And this is not in any way a knock on TV or our team. These games happen. But all the whinging about our ranking in early March is ridiculous.

My justification is they don't have losses to inferior teams. We were beat soundly by KY, twice, once at home, and beaten by Vandy, and nearly beaten by vandy at home if not for a miracle comeback. Auburn destroyed KY at their house. Auburn has losses to 2 likely number 1 seeds.

We also played Auburn to the wire (missed foul away imo) at their house. Vols have been more consistent all year besides the UF game, but we did the same to them. We have more quad 1's too.
