Top 7 List – Ways to Never Get a Raise

1. Always have an excuse…
“But it was all Bobby’s fault!”
We’ve all used excuses to justify our actions, whether it’s to justify losing that account, or to champion yourself in that fender-bender off the I-5. We’ve all done it! However, the key to your personal success in garnering a pay raise is to leave your excuses at the door. No employer likes hearing “It wasn’t my fault!” time and again. Think about it: in your own life is there anything more irritating and off-putting than a person who simply won’t own up? Nothing will set you further back than a boatload of excuses! Be strong, own up, fix the problem, and go get your raise!
