Summary

  • Prepare before seeking a raise or accusing your boss.
  • Schmoozing can lead to greater success.

One of the most important talents in the workplace is managing your boss. Of course most of the time it's your boss's job to manage you, but there are key situations when reversing that equation can get you what you want.

I See You and I'll Raise You

Think about asking for your next raise. You know that the job market is pretty tight, but before asking for the moon, gather some information on what comparable jobs are paying at other companies. Then put your research, your specific objectives -- including the actual numbers -- and your reasons on paper. Send these to your boss ahead of time so he has time to think about them.

Asking for a raise is a pretty familiar scenario. But what if you think your boss is doing something illegal or unethical? Should you tell someone? If so, how should you do it? Before you act, make sure you have enough facts to back up your accusation. Then formulate a plan, evaluate the risks and prepare for some difficulty. You're threatening someone's livelihood, so be prepared to suffer a few accusations yourself. To minimize your own personal damage adhere to the following guidelines:

  • List the risks and the possible results. Plan your strategy if you succeed and what you'll do if you don't.
  • Evaluate your reputation. The more highly regarded you are, the more likely that people will pay attention and believe you.
  • Discreetly find out if others have had the same experiences with your boss. Then get them to go along with you. Group consensus is always more plausible than a single complainant.
  • Find out what the procedures are for these types of complaints. Make sure you stick to them and take good notes.
