My brother makes an hourly wage as a delivery truck driver. He’s gotten much more efficient at his job, so he finishes his routes early, and he ended up making less this year than he did his previous year. I’m trying to convince him that he needs to ask for a raise. Is it greedy or what he deserves?

He might be too smart for his job. Could he just take breaks and be inefficient to make what he deserves? Not sure this is an industry that would give raises based on efficiency and merit. Hope I’m wrong and your brother can be recognized. The consultant in me wants to say that he should document the efficient process and start his own consulting firms to sell the process to delivery companies.

To your first question: yes. That’s what his coworkers do. They’re worse at the job but get paid more

Unfortunately most jobs don’t pay for efficiency. He should probably be slower honestly

I would cost out leasing a truck and subcontracting for Amazon. He will make much more even if you factor in a high end insurance plan.

Or if he has a car, Ubering or DoorDash as a side gig!

Facts like I commend him for the efficiency but when you're hourly with a finite amount of work for the day, you drag that mess out for as long as you can. Take lots of breaks, scroll through reddit, grab a meal, hell watch a show lol

Update: he got promoted! It’s a direct sales position, so he’ll be selling the products he’s delivering and gaining commissions from both his sales and the relationships he brings in. Hourly raise too 🥹
