MY RESPONSE TO DAVE RAMSEY - "Why Your Boss Shouldn't Give You a Raise Based On Inflation!" 

Seriously! Ive been a nurse for 10 years and they're hiring nurses for the same and more than what I'm getting paid. What's the point of seniority and putting your time in. And then they wonder why people quit and move elsewhere

Facts 💯

@@strangeclouds7 the point is to finesse you

Your right about that one

And that's why you job hop, fuck em

Its almost as if people are naturally supposed to have new experiences and branch out socially in order to be successful... but that's actually a luxury and would give employees a leg up so we cant have that.

This comment is key. I don't think business needs to give a raise to everyone and some may not be able to. If they can't, however, you cannot expect an employee to stay. If an employee chooses to leave for greater pay, the boss doesn't have much to say. To be fair, I do feel bad for the companies that cannot afford the additional pay, but there are alot of firms that can raise pay, refuse to do so, and act offended when employees chose to leave. I have a feeling that Ramsey is in the latter group.

Never trust a "Christian".

Loyalty is a two-way street. In the old days I gave the company for which I worked a lot of loyalty, and I received it back. Beginning early in the Reagan years, as the income of the ultra-wealthy began to soar -- their income is now about 400% more than in 1980, the company still expected loyalty and the employees gave them an approximate 62% increase in productivity over the same period. The loyalty was not returned. Since 1979 overall workers have received an 18% increase in wages while over the same time the cumulative inflation rate has had the effect of an approximate 310% increase in the prices. Loyalty is a two-way street, but if it is expected and not returned, job-hopping is a means of survival., quiet quitting is also a survival strategy. A friend, a boomer who grew up in the shadow of Woodstock, owns a coffee roasting company that distributes Fair Trade coffee to several local shops and who owns a couple of coffee shops. He pays his baristas a living wage and runs staff meetings like a 12-Step meeting, i.e. he listens to and shows great respect for his employees. He is a Christian and a Buddhist and lives those values. He is a true anomaly in these times.

Job hopping every 2 years until you plateau is ideal.

Did you accept the counter-offer?

@@gunadiwibowo9407 You'd be stupid to. I would take the counter-offer with another offer on hand. 🦁

A counteroffer is a confession that they've been underpaying you.

Companies almost always have the money, they just might not have it *for you* ...until you become someone they can't afford to replace (cheaply; because everyone is replaceable but it's not always cheap). For scummy employers, you're suddenly important when you put in your notice (When you put in your notice, always say that you're open to negotiation and always get the negotiation in writing). Second, and this is the hard part... when you put in your notice, you should actually quit. Now that you have your notice in, you are seen as a flight risk. HR is already sending out priority 1 calls for your replacement the day you agree to stay. Paying you 4x what you were previously making generally will not last unless you were that far below *minimum* industry standard. GET THEIR OFFER ON LETTERHEAD with the title and salary. Leave anyways, and use the offer letter to get OTHER companies to "match or beat." For any new *place* you work, even if you've been in the role/industry for 500 years; You should be asking for an evaluation after your first 3 months, then every 6 months after that, until you are singing "big boy job" salary contracts (which you should have an attorney look over, and also take it home to read yoursefl--do both). Ask for an evaluation 6 or 12 months after your initial contract signing, If the evaluation is good, when the contract is up for renewal ask for a raise based on the evaluation. Make sure the evaluation is no longer than during the prior year to the contract renewal. If the contract is 5 years, you should have an evaluation Year 2 reviewing Y1 to scope out if they're "already done" with you, Y3 reviewing Y2 for renegotiation, and then and 6 months into Y5 in preparation for renewal. No matter what kind of employment, or what level, or if you have a contract or not, you You should always ask for a raise Day 1 of year 3 (of continuous employment), and the MINIMUM raise should should be no less than 12% (because if you change companies you'll get 10-20%), Whatever you're not comfortable asking for, ask for that. Because you'll usually be haggled down unless you have a *very* generous (and respectable) employer... or maybe they were originally prepared to pay more.

At my place we found out that the raises were going to the bosses friends she hired. That's why our raises were low.

and you shouldnt. you should only work as hard as they pay you, in otherwords act your wage

They pretend to pay us so we pretend to work.

Work Hard And Other Lies(tm)

​@@RePlaylist1 Your investment. Your risk. Yes. You don't get to lay claim to a property, then charge the entire mortgage, tax, insurance and a kicker on the top for your walking around money and be protected from financial trouble. Essentially using the property to lay claim to 30% of the value of someone else's labor. Moving the wealth they create into your pockets. Now, you're providing a service to be fair, but those tenants; They paid the tax burden. They paid the bank the interest. They bought the house and don't get it. And they paid for the privilege.

@@Combatwhombat I love the flipped script. "of course owners should make more, thats payment for the risk," but then, "what? owner's should be expected to cover all that risk with the money you provide them." so it's only risky if one can't successfully exploit others?

@@PokeMultiverse If your income can't support the property without them, you probably have no business doing it.

@@PokeMultiverse I had to reread that. I was not expecting to be heard. Right. It's not only risky then, but given that most loans for rentals that make it past 5 years never default. The risk is pretty rapidly overcome by advantage.

Then they complain when workers leave for higher paying jobs.

as a boomer it was not the Easiest time in history it was a lot easyer for WW2 vets

@@dknowles60 ive seen some boomers who didnt get college degree,when it mattered most or a great job position that gave good experience and gave a chance to buy a house or even 2nd rental home that quadrupled in value. A lot of them are lucky but not all. Some had learning or personal issues and ended up in their 50s and 60s getting 16hr or less and have no chances of retiring. The issue with millennials is a much smaller percentage of them get all that even with high GPAs

This is the easiest time in history. And a decade from now will be easier than that... You can literally sit at home and learn how to become a web developer by watching free RU-vid videos and get a job remotely (so you can move to a place with a low cost of living) and be making $80-90k in a year and be well above the average income. You can also just apply yourself at basically any minimum wage job and become a manager within months and make decent money if you are lacking the ability for coding which many are obviously. You can pick up a trade like plumbing, welding, etc and make a good living. You can actually learn how to manage money and save instead of going into debt. You can freelance. It isn't hard to succeed in 2022. People don't want to have to work for it.

@@dknowles60 Ramsey's father was RICH. When Dave says he lost everything, he means that he lost the MILLION DOLLARS his father gave him on a bad business deal. He was never "broke" like a common man.

@@raiden031 Unless "market value" isn't enough to be worth it. Once. we had to fight for a 25% increase over a big index's "market value" for a new developer. That 25% brought him up to just about enough for a single guy to live on in that rather expensive area. Guess what happened when someone offered to pay for what he could do instead of what job position he "qualified for"?

Starting a new job in a week for 20% more after my current employer said it’s just not possible to keep up with inflation as they turned around to purchase two new corporate jets

I thank God everyday, Im not in my first job. The corporate culture crap: give your best monday-sunday or we will kick your butt if ever there is 1 client complain about you. My next companies, nothing like that. No yearly increase in first company. If ever they want to increase your salary after 5 yrs, it's up to them. Some friends remained there. Now they are being yelled at zoom meetings if ever they are absent on saturday or sunday meetings.

Basically 😂😂

It’s a list of not to listen to his advice. He contradicts himself a lot lol. I don’t trust the man

only if u threaten to leave

TRUTH!!

Be popular not effective for promotion. Just like high school all over again.

When you give a notice or quit, all of a sudden they got a little extra money for a raise. FOH

I turned an entire company and failing product around once with a signed offer letter of doubling my salary on delivery. I delivered in 6 months and never got the promised raise. I quit and the company went under 3 years later. Business will rip you off every time.

I've seen workers work their butts off at work for years and never get selected for the recognition award. It always went to the friends of the boss. Come to find out, district told us it was suppose to be the floor employees, not bosses or assistants. How low can people be?

@@brendaechols5929 That's because working too hard is ruining your career. If you are working so much, that you are effectively doing the job of two people, then replacing you will need two people, so that's why they prefer not to promote you, since managers (your new position) do barely anything.

@@Jose04537 exactly. It's all about saving money. Why waste my time hiring a 2 new guys at a higher salary in the current market, train them, maybe they won't even be good enough and leave. Why promote this hard working person to a new position where he might not be as good as he is now. When I could leave him in this position for X more years and save up a ton of money. The manager's duty becomes making sure you don't leave that position that you're so good in for a salary that was ok 2-3 years ago.

@@klauseba and that mentality is resulting in the tight labor market we are seeing now. at the very least give substantial raises to the guy working their butt off. not the 5-10 inflation negation. more like the 20-30%.

@@asadb1990 Studies say you make more money by changing jobs than "sucking it up" in one job your whole life. MILLIONS discovered that fact because they were lay off and were forced to find a new job. Employees also discovered that: Companies are not loyal to you; They CAN offer remote work; AND that they hate to post the salary of new positions because is usually more than what they pay their current workers.

I said this above but in the USA we have actually had negative inflation before. What would you have the company do then? Granted with the current Democrats and GOP those days are pretty much over. Way over with the current administration. Now having said that, I totally agree with knowing what you are worth and leaving if a far better opportunity comes up. I say that independent of inflation.

@@SteveMichael do not count on deflation (negative inflation) It is an extremely bad sign for an economy as a whole and the economists will do whatever they can to keep inflation at 2% Deflation can be more terrifying than hyperinflation.

They do care where you live if it benefits them If you move to a cheaper state they can adjust it down

Has anyone said this needs to be an either/or thing? Of course it feels good to be recognized for working with a merit raise, but cost of living adjustments aren't about talent, they're about treating you like a human instead of as disposable. Of course they should do both.

That's really bad dude, you shouldn't be "keeping your eye out" for other jobs, you should be actively seeking daily for better opportunities. Plenty of companies do both cost of living & merit raises. Cost of living raises also increase merit raises so you are missing out on quite a bit. For example, if you start at a company for $50k and get 2% inflation raise every year for 5 years, then get a 15% merit raise your salary would be $62,239.85/year. Without cost of living raises you would be making $57,500 which is a $4739.86/year difference. The numbers are even worse now that inflation is through the roof. Basically, any company that does this is just gambling their employees don't quit. It's too bad most people don't call their bluff.

If you don't like something then tough shit.

thats really risky advice

It's bc everyone used to want to be like Mike. Now they all want to be like trump

Old white capitalist boomer gonna do it

He’s corrupt. And he’s also a heartless ghoul

Why would a company expect loyalty out of anyone?

Because,,Because, will give loyalty . They will stay you will be gone

@@XxXnonameAsDXxX It used to be that way where they would give you a gold watch after a long tenure as appreciation.

@@distordm_nx dude, that's just not true. that was always ultra rare to begin with... job hopping was the right thing to do in the past as well, but ppl didnt do it/didnt know about it.

Being loyal to the company I work currently work for, second in seniority in the 9 person department (only behind the manager), learning all but the newest job in the department (I have no experience at all with any kind of programming, but someone was brought in to start that and I have explicitly told them I would like to train in that area), constantly trying to bring new ideas and improvements to the table (only for the company to not want to look at it until one of their new single trick ponies was tasked with doing what I was trying to do years earlier), has brought me nothing but being much paid less than the people that only work in one area of the department, being the only one that is hourly, and the only one that doesn't have flexibility to work from outside of the office. No amount of talking to management has done anything to fix the issues. This loyalty on my part has me wondering if the couple of dollars less per hour (literally) I'd make working the ticket counter of the local laser tag place is a better job choice than working an engineering position. So, you want me to show I'm loyal, show that same loyalty to me.

Your comment is underrated. It needs a boost! The companies I have been at in the tech world… same deal. Burn through candidates until you find the loyalist at the cheapest price seems to be the tech industry motto…

Let them. Because those companies have poor leadership and aren’t worth working for anyways. Unless you plan on quite quitting lol.

His god is money. My bosses are the same. Act Christian but wont give raises to most people and overall cheapskates. I'm in the second interview at a new job this week so hopefully out of there soon.

He's obviously a sociopath, that's the issue.

If he calls people servants he's not a Christian because every human is supposed to look up to God not look up to their boss

It's hard because these larger businesses already exist and have such enormously unfair advantages compared to you. Your costs are higher so you would never be able to compete with these bigger retailers for example and you'll get hit alot harder at tax time than they will Edit: Essentially the game is rigged against any new business that tries to start

@@aaronasencio9459 Christians are literally called to serve others in the name of God. It is not inaccurate. "And Jesus called them to him and said to them, "You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10:42-45 The problem is that Ramsay is simply not following the Word of God, as he is supposed to serve his workers as well. edit: I suppose it's confusing to say servant of God instead of servant to others in the name of God

Don’t settle for less, especially in this industry. I think software devs don’t get paid enough especially when they bring so much value to companies making hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars to the company you work for.

Same exact thing happened to me cuz I didn't work overtime like my colleagues. Also got a new joh thankfully

I don't think devs really understand that you are the foundation of a tech company. If you all walk, the product is literally no more. CEOs can't even do what you do.

Look at it from the other lens - perhaps your old company couldn't afford to pay you that because your Manager was overpaid and taking up all of the budget. I've been in retail for 21 years and that's how I see it. For instance, at a big box store like Wal-mart, a typical employee only earns $35k a year, while the store manager can earn as much as $200k a year if it's a busy location.

@@violian5 I think your math is a bit wrong tho. Im all for money for the workers but if you look at the number of workers vs the number of store managers - so 300 vs 1 - even if you fire the manager and give all the money to the workers - its gonna be a drop in a bucket - coz 300 people will get a less than 2 % raise.

Or if you can bring your laptop to get some work done when getting chemo.

And yet, employers don’t seem to care! Why?I don’t know, but they seem to WANT a revolving door of employees based on how they treat the people they have

@@m1975cl basically, yes. The mentality is, sooner or later some dummy will come along and work for substandard pay and treatment. If it doesn't work out, they'll find a new one. We're all disposable to them.

Governments/Companies/Organizations want good slaves who are married/have kids. After about 20 years working, I'll tell young people you should not have any loyalty to any organization, they will turn on you in a second when its convenient and fire/replace you. Also to ensure no slavery, young people dont get married and dont get a girl pregnant, make sure she takes the birth control pill daily in front of you and both wear protection. You will just condemn your new child to increasing poverty and freedomless slavery and these control/money/job trends worsen. Promote this idea in videos and social media to help prevent more young people into this new slavery.

And that's why no one wants to work for boomers.

@@sawyer4981 Real boomer moment. I wouldn't expect anything else from them. "Allow me to be a piece of crap go start your own company".

Oh, he implied paying market rates if you notice. He just didn't want to do cost of living/inflation increases. He seems to have a performance & department performance model.

I'm not defending him, his company seems to be doing fine so he might be able to afford it. I assume he has a bunch of true believers working there so more pay is not needed.

You mean wage SLAVERY.

your comment is really really SUS

Nobody goes from 40k to 110k in 4 years without completely changing careers. I think you’re leaving out some important details.

I don't understand how people can survive without raises. But as much as I do not want to admit it as long as you can afford to repace everyone it may be an option to employ everyone at the same rate!!

Yup. some companies could be so cold hearted not to have yearly salary increase, like in my first company. On my 2nd company, they have salary increase. In my first company: toxic corporate crap culture + no yearly increase. Employees there got older & dying either thru cancer or heart problem, evident of highly stressful corporate crap. Some even died who are too poor despite being a loyal employee, no money for personal funeral. Why be so loyal to that crap?

I don't see the unfair part. If your job is the same, you should earn the same. Having been there for longer isn't a reason to earn more.

Matthew 6:24

Hiding behind the cross, while he bashes his employees heads

He didn't even cite rising costs for the owner for maintenance, property tax, etc, which would be completely legitimate reasons for raising the rent even for a Christian. An increase in market rent doesn't force him to raise rents.

I agree 💯

God said to never put your trust in humans as we are all born of sin. And he sounds and looks like he's been living in his wealth too long to know how a regular working class person has to survive.

Bingo. Best hedge against inflation are hard assets like real estate and commodities (energy, gold, lumber, etc). If you are a worker who doesn't have hard assets then follow Warren Buffett's advice and become highly skilled in an in demand field. Then you can always go out and get a better job with your skills should a butthead company try to underpay you.

You just have to invest in as assets class that has the lowest barrier of entry. You can put a few hundred dollars a month in stocks or crypto every month. These are two assets classes that increase with inflation.

He always argues that paying off mortgages early is critical. But during the past few years of low interest rates, the inflation has gone much worse. I used some online mortgage early pay calculators to do some case studies, and the result make no sense. He’s stuck in his own safety net and cannot adjust to these cases.

@@mingchi1855 there’s some math behind it but if you got a low mortgage rate it’s better to keep that and invest money into higher return investments (not now in this economy) but normally.

@@happylistener4628 I think what he meant was that the pay increase is only bait to get an employee to stay just long enough for them to find a replacement. Often times, managers and such see any attempt at taking their power away as heresy. So just by saying "I'm looking for another job", you're telling them "Your don't have power over me anymore". Obviously, they hate that. So much so that they'll offer you generous pay just so you will turn down that other job. Yet they'll still fire you a few months later for "reasons". In other words, it's a trap.

@@thefalseheroold7460 Although there are no guarantees in life, my Faith sees me through life challenges. When considering my employer increased pay level for my coworkers and myself, as well as base pay for future new employees, I trusted it wasn’t just bait for my short stay. Not to mention, no worries here. I knew I could easily find and land a position with another company. No problem. So these greedy, insatiably money hungry, wealth hoarding monster corporations’ schemes/traps don’t work on me. I have never been materialistic and always a saver. Marketing/consumerism doesn’t work on me. Losing my Mom to cancer at 62, I realized just how short life is. Living frugally within my means, a minimalist and buying only the necessities: food, I retired early at 60 and happily left the rat race workforce debt free and stress free. The work will always be there. It’s never ending. Time and family is what truly matter. Retirement is good.

@@thefalseheroold7460 yep, exactly that! Not only that even if the pay was sincere to keep an employee the reasons for leaving before outside of compensation will still be there and 6-12 months later they're back on the job market again.

@@dianaverano7878 don't know you but I'm happy for you that you found one of the good ones too 🙂 I hope more employers get their act together, will have to when they realise their pals are only good for a laugh but no work gets done and all the hard working people are gone

hows homelessness?

@@sbrazenor2 Then maybe the executives should take a pay cut too - but noooo, Supply Side Joel Osteen Jebus 3:16: "We rob the poor to pay the rich, we are all fascist sons of a !"

@@sbrazenor2 yea you REALLY aren’t grasping it are you? O well….it does take a certain level of IQ & basic human decency. No hope with the chronically brainwashed 🙄😂🤮

Yeah I'm a Christian and I agree. "We can't give a raise to you right now" is a fine thing to say if it's true. Either you have it or you don't. But making a philosophy out of not helping your employees out is just sad tbh.

@@sbrazenor2 Not really, no. At least not in the New Testament anyway.

So, respond to Matthew 20:1-16 where Jesus basically affirms people agree to the wage they agreed to, no matter what time of day they started?

Housing WILL tank, but eventually THE EVERYTHING BUBBLE will also burst. There _might_ be a short window between the two. Be sure to own the actual ground itself, not just the house that sits on top, Stay tf away from subvidisions or "neighborhoods" you don't actually own anything in them except a house that you probably won't be able to afford to pick up with those fancy helicopters, IF it can even be picked up in the first place. And believe it or not, the house itself can be "evicted" from the land it sits on if you own one but not the other. True land titles/Allodial titles are the ONLY documents of real estate ownership, and even then, being granted by another, there are holes in your claim. Everything else is a "use lease" (or titles for the accessories). If you have a true title, you're literally on your own. The cops wont come, no fire, no rescue, nothing UNLESS you contract with them directly. But you don't owe taxes because you own the land itself unless you want to tax yourself. Also, you are much more subject to uses of force to "reassign ownership." You cannot keep what you cannot defend: 2A is your friend in these cases. You own nothing if you're dead. "And you'll be happier than ever"...

@@randomuserame 'MURICA.

@@randomuserame Dave Ramsey says it will keep going up and it's a great time to buy a house now

@@randomuserame if there’s one thing we know about wealth it that the rich will not suffer a crash. Tax dollars and bail outs will save the, “capitalist” system that saves businesses to big to fail…..

Congratulations!

Congrats 🎉

They'll call themselves a "small business" if they aren't multinational yet. Just like "startups" with 10 year histories but no real profits.

As long as a business has less than 500 employees they can claim the title "small business". I agree though I don't think really any small businesses havea CFO and if they do they really just wanted the title that bad.

They do it all the time. Ive seen small retail franchise owners refer to themselves as president and CEO. They are also the people who share Dave's greedy outlook on inflation. Fuck my employees. Fuck my renters.

Just don't die at work that would be inconvenient for them and make them fill out paperwork 😂

@@gokublack8342 I could be hit by an asteroid while standing in the building, and they would still say it was my fault. Just so they didn't have to file a claim and pay for my funeral

@gregleblond9367 Them: Can you go hit by an Asteroid somewhere else like across the street 😂

I love this. So much truth!

I work HR/Payroll and I tell my employees this ALL THE TIME! They are usually shocked but I tell them all the time, if we were firing you, we will not give you a fair warning. We will just fire you an hire someone else. I tell people, you are paid for your services that it.

Do you ever owe them notice when you quit? Isn't the whole purpose of giving notice so that 1) you could ever come back or 2) if a new company reaches back to your previous employer. So you can go the no notice route, but it could cause you problems.

@raiden031 - I gave notice and when I tried to get my old job back, they wouldn't take me back and they are hurting for workers. I always went above and beyond but they got butthurt over me leaving (okay, I left twice but both times put my notice in) and yet they would rather take no help and constantly suffer than take me back short term.

@@ShyMplsMale lmao...so you’re a serial quitter 😂. I almost understand them...I’d be like fuc you too 🤣

Don't worry, the global real estate market will crash soon, and then we will finally be able to buy a house because they will all be worthless.

Yeah I’m with you on this one. Personal finance is one thing, but the leadership stuff coming out of them I believe is a bit out of touch.

Dave’s advice is pretty simple. Get yours and eff anyone else and read the Bible. He’s just not very good at communicating it.

Would you deny an old man his walking stick?

Exactly. That is why they have all of these excuses to not give you a raise or promote you. I bet he is laughing that his poor employees are working for coins.

Allways remember that according to the bible, no rich person is allowed in heaven. There is no rich christian.

Yeah. As if ALL his family members are the best in class employees 🙄

There is a big schism between “Christian values” and “American Christian values”.

@@einCAA this isn't right. The verse I'm sure you're thinking of is more meant to be a warning against how the excesses of wealth can take our eyes off of Jesus. It's not a condemnation of wealth itself.

What kills me is this 'individualism' always involves being a slum lord (within the market demographic), and not actual individualism. I guess that's why on his facebook page there's manicured lawns, but no productive gardens (that I've seen anyway).

Lol. Better. That's funny.

Compared to stupid Gen X people who felt so virtuous using the government to steal other people's money. Blame being broke on yourself instead of being jealous of people who actually worked and invested.

@@Akihito007 Actually, that was mostly the Boomers too.

Yea strait up

Also Dave: And pay your debts, you dead beat

@@adama7752 To be fair, Ramsey really does help a lot of people balance their budgets and get them out of bad debt. I know it's simply live below your means, but that can be easier said than done for some people; finances can be very tricky. But outside of that, Ramsey is an outdated boomer with a poor grasp of economics and investing.

DR got rich by declaring bankruptcy and stiffing his creditors

Wait till you check out his investing advice. You go from morons in debt, to working slavery hours/low wages, to actually losing money compared to market returns. It's hilarious, but it's not really, because people actually listen to him.

@@DerMeister821 well I’m now debt free and having six figure income saving by using Dave Ramsey plan …..

@@alstonmiller212 did i say debt or investing advice? Tell me you're illiterate without telling me you're illiterate.

@@alstonmiller212 I’m so sorry you have 5 iq points

All of these evaluation processes are BS anyway. The vast majority of people do their job well or adequately (if you didn't you'd get sacked no question) so what is the point of the process? Its just another way of giving workers the illusion of control (work hard and you'll get a raise next year) while in reality employers will ALWAYS pay you the least they can get away with.

🥳

Glad to see the owners got what was coming to them

Every time they try anonymising or making quantative assessments on job performance, the diversity people start crying because the "wrong" people start getting raises. So the schemes get quietly scrapped.

Shut up Dave
