some_guy ( @some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org ) 19•5 months agoMy father was very high-achieving in business, so when he gave me the following piece of advice, it was truly unexpected. He told me, “if you can get away with only putting in maybe 85% and still get things done, maybe only give 85%.”
I expected some holier than thou “you must give it your all,” but he taught me to coast when I can do so and still meet expectations.

InputZero ( @InputZero@lemmy.ml ) 5•5 months agoI can go digging through my old research to find a citation, but for Western labour markets this has been proven to be true. Generally speaking who move between employers every few years generally earn more than people who remain at the same employer for long periods of time. This does not apply to individuals who occupy incredibly neich professions, like if fewer than 100 people total in an entire country are capable of doing that job.
Midnitte ( @Midnitte@beehaw.org ) 3•5 months agoThis has become truer every year as benefits are cut (or costs raised), pensions are removed, and unions are eliminated.
Yearly “raises” barely (or sometimes don’t) cover increases in cost of living. Unless you’re getting something else out of it (such as experience), you’re better off switching companies (especially if you move positions and the company leverages you as a resource for that old position).

MonkderZweite ( @MonkderZweite@feddit.ch ) 10•5 months agoBetter every 2-4 on average. Companies don’t like too fickle candidates. Except if you’re top of the créme.
lichtmetzger ( @lichtmetzger@feddit.de ) 6•5 months agoLast year I started working less for even more money. Another company wanted to poach me, so my boss had to make me an offer. Went down to a 32 hour work week with Fridays off while also getting a significant raise, so I stayed at the company. He didn’t like it, but there wasn’t much of a choice because we’re severely understaffed.
Let’s see if I can do this again this year. Not working less hours (32h is fine), but getting an even better offer.
