How to Ask Your Boss For a Raise 

I know some small companies genuinely care about their employees, but any time a company says "we're family," you need to remember that it's actually just a business at the end of the day and that they are going to make decisions based on their bottom line, not your life circumstances (in most cases). You also can't feel guilty when you need to leave your "family" due to your personal career goals, so long as you're giving them enough notice. Using the "family" narrative can really impact people negatively.

I'll just watch this while my boss is an earshot away, and hope it works out

That solo shirt button is holding on for dear life

Just leave every 2-3 years, quickest way to increase salary. Don’t become complacent.

I always found it as simple as knowing what you need and want financially, knowing your value to the company and being straight up, “I know what I want and if I’m providing you value, this is what I need, if not I need to move on” only thing you need to have on your end is being a valuable worker. Doesn’t work if you’re lazy!

I just tell my coworkers I’m looking at indeed and my boss hears about it… gotten 2 raises in 6 months lol snitches

He could have just be honest and said “In today’s economy, no ones receiving raises”

This is absolutely an episode I want to see.

Great clip

thats a pie in the sky answer to the question if ive ever heard one

This man said he was still a Christian after evicting single mothers during the winter after hiking up the rent and blaming it on inflation.

I’m a machinist, I went from making 12 to 21 dollars an hour at a company I worked for, and 23 to 31 at another company I worked for, in a very short amount of time. 2-3 years at both companies. I managed to accomplish this by doing exactly what Dave is saying, and this is the first time I heard him say this. I never asked my employer for more money, I just did more work. I out worked everyone else, to the point that I made myself too valuable to lose. If you are worth it, you really don’t need to ask for more money, put in the work and you will get paid. I use to always write on my resume, if you aren’t making money, then I am not making money, so let’s make money together.

Theo's openers take notes

I do find it funny he talks about a woman who saved them over $100k, but I bet she still had to ask for that raise. Rather than them just giving it.

Man, I’ve been thinking about talking to my boss about just this but then I wonder if I’m just gonna end up screwing myself and giving them ammo to give me more responsibility and end up in the same situation…

This how I’ve done it multiple times. Small businesses way to go.

Theo's openers need a raise, $100, really?

Theo, please get Joshua fluke on the show. He destroys this boomer with logic on how companies operate nowadays. Ramsay has no idea how it works in today’s society.

Maybe this works in a privately owned SMB but if you are an American working in the corporate world the response is: "well you signed a non-compete so you can't accept any of those offers and based on this conversation I'm going to have to notate that you are a flight risk since you are clearly looking for other opportunities which will impact how you are perceived within the company." HR will conveniently and coincidentally send out reminders of the non-compete policy and have everyone in the department re-sign them within 48 hrs.

It's called unionization and collective bargaining.

As if Dave Ramsey knows anything about working a 9-5. Smh

Hmm I can’t tell if this is solid advice, or satire lol

Quit and bet on yourself. These companies don’t care about us.

Good advice....from being a business owner myself. Adding value will always work in the employees favor

Barry McCarthy is gone! GANG GANG

Start your own business. That's the only way to get ahead nowadays.

This is a small business and my mistress is costing me more than I pay you I'm gone

The worst person to ask for advice. Simply apply for a job with better pay, and if you get an offer then inform your employer. If your employer doesn’t match their pay, then take the other offer.

wu tang

Iv been a big fan of Daves for decades before everone knew who he was but some days listening to him talk my ears start fighting and my brain is caught in the middle diiieeeiiinnG😅

First off, love you Theo. Secondly… I’ve seen a few clips of him on this podcast and he really, really doesn’t answer any questions in depth. Typical financial type with no real advice to give to general population. It’s a “should’ve started this at a younger age” type of advice. It’s not helpful.

The worst guy to ask for advice.
