I probably wouldn’t post about it here with my name listed...
Create burner email and send to entire agency. Watch 🌎 🔥.
You immediately ask for a raise! Also take a screenshot with your phone bc that is solid gold info you may wanna keep close
Yes CD2 I also used my name in the story I posted above. It’s Kelly Butler. Nice to meet you!
Make them buy my drinks at the bar from now on.
If the hypothetical takes place at Havas, then you gotta spend $1000 to get 100K insta followers and BAM! pay bump!
I had something somewhat similar happen to me but not this exactly in my first career. I did the budget and saw the other marketing manager (also female) made $20K more than me. Big fuck up on their side to not think my managing the budget wouldn’t lead to me seeing her salary. Anyway, I went to my boss and told him what I’d seen and he was very honest with me. He said... “Kelly, you’re very creative and good at your job but she has more digital experience and even if you went and got that I don’t need two of you.” I realized... he’s right. Also fuck this career I’m going to ad school. Quit a month later after 5 years there, moved to Chicago, didn’t know a soul. I’m grateful for that painful but honest discussion. And that boss and I still have dinner when he’s in town. 🙌
Race and gender aside, consider how you can bring more value to the agency
I blast “Bitch Better Have My Money” from said computer as I book a meeting to ask for a raise
Buy a drink for the IT person who's about to get fired.
Not to be rude but experience and tenure aren't a measure of quality. They may just both be $30K better.
Kelly this actually happened to me like 12 years ago. I was erroneously sent a list of all salaries from receptionist up to CEO. I wish I had never seen it. I would stare at it for hours and plan the demise of everyone around me. Drove me crazy. I talked to my CEO,and expressed that I was about 40k under industry range for my title (based on the intel I had). He looked me dead in the eye and said I make what everyone else makes.
So I guess the upside is that I knew where I stood with the CEO, and I knew not to fully trust him. Didn't do anything else with the info. Remained patient, worked hard and now I'm C-suite and make 3x more than anyone on that old list.
Shoot the hostage.
You know you posted with your name, right?
Ah this is a publicity stunt. We get it you're good. Cool. It's advertising bro. No one really cares.
Forget what others are paid. Ask yourself if you feel that your salary reflects the value you being to the organization. If the answer is no, go to your manager and say " I don't believe my salary reflects the value I bring. Do you? Never use the word "fair". It's not about fair. It's about value.
Salary = Value x Assertiveness.
So.. What is it you're asking though?☺
Btw, don't tell them you knew person X makes more so you want more too. That's a super wrong logic. You go and you ask for a raise of $xx because of your XYZ skills and accomplishments and present your case that they can't refute. What you did IRL just gave the person an opportunity to tell you why you don't deserve the same. Very different spin from you going and saying why you deserve more than what you currently make.
Well it’s actually “irreplaceable" but you know, I get what you mean 😉
SC1, I can tell you Kelly gets booked and stays booked... to the point where she has to ask her clients to give her time off. People like her, her attitude, and her work. Based on your predilection for trolling, I sincerely doubt that same trifecta applies to you.
Ask for a raise for surrrrreee. I’m with AD1 screen shot gold!!!
