This video is right on the money. As a manager, I had one employee (out of 14) that would ask a few times through the year, straight out, "What can I do for YOU this year to get a raise?" She'd write it down and create a performance metrics. At her yearly review, she'd have her performance metrics and goals ready. I was allocated 3% to give per employee. I would make an excuse to everyone else (the economy, biz down) and give them 2.5%. This employee got the extra, which was 8%.
@trosanelli - Since her goals were in line with my goals, she helped me receive my great raise. BTW, if you are thinking she's a brown-noser, that's fine but you are the one getting the 2.5% while we were getting great raises. And rightly so because we were contributing to the businesses' bottom line. These other people were just showing up and collecting a paycheck. If you are getting sub-par raises and your boss gives you some excuse, read as, you suck and someone is getting your extra money.
