Organon MSD Merck .

I was contacted by other companies offering 15% more with a promotion. I like my company, the people and the way we are treated.
Is there a way to negociate a salary increase in my company?

If I pop up to my manager showing someone is offering MORE.
IF she accepts. Won't the situation be weird on the TEAM? As I forced her hand?
If she refuses, I leave, but I can do that every year.

I joined the company and was told I would be challenged with projects that were always pushed and those projects would allow me to prove I am worth of a promotion

So I don’t know if this will help but here is something I read once and totally changed the way I see companies and jobs.

Someone was offered a Higher position with a higher salary at a company and he refused. When they asked why, he said because I am already at the top.
The interviewer smiled and said : Dear you are nowhere near the top at your company. You have a whole chain of command and to be in the position we are offering you would have to work there another 10 years.
The guy said: I am at the top, because I am financially satisfied for the “work-life balance” I am having. I have never missed an event of my kids at their school, nor a family dinner and events. My manager and coworkers treat me with respect and I am highly valued for the job I do.
“The top” can be seen differently by different people.

So in my opinion, if you’re happy where you are, have a friendly talk with your manager about the opportunity of a promotion or increase. If they say there is no opportunity for now or they give you a green light in the nearest future , you can enjoy your happy work environment because is not that common.

But I strongly suggest not to force them into letting you go because if someone comes up and say ; hey I got a job offer. And if you don’t match , I would go. I would let them go. Because loyalty is what I value much more than anything else.
And loyalty goes two ways. Always.

I hit my one year at my company on the 15th of November. I had lunch with my boss on the 10th and he mentioned a raise but not how much or when it would be effective.

Flash forward to now, we’ve had 2 paychecks since then and I haven’t received anything. He said last week he would let me know this week, but I’m getting frustrated.

He’s raising my billing rate effective Jan. 1, and I’m worried I won’t get my raise until then. Anyone have something similar happen?

My friend is wondering how to approach a raise conversation with her new boss.

She’s not really interested in the data work, but she’s happy to do it if she can get a raise. How can she best approach this with a new manager that just joined 1-2 months ago?

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
