No. It would be better to hang with it and keep trying for that raise. Or Genuinely look to go somewhere else and give resume to other places.
No. You could lose your current job because the company might feel as though you are not loyal to them. Or they really may not be able to offer you any more money and tell you that the other offer is better and let you go.
Its very risky as they may let you go if you push too hard. I would look for other options so you actually have leverage
Probably not, they could check then your integrity could become compromised. Just be upfront about your value and look at other job opportunities if they turn you down and it's still important to you.
Yes! A good idea is to mention 4 or 5 other high paying offers!
Absolutely not. Just go actually find a different job.
What would you do if your company tells you to take the fake offer?
No. Be prepared to walk. If they give the raise, be prepared to be laid off/ fired as soon as your replacement is found.
VERY MUCH NO! This is a SURE way to be shown the door.
Keep the consequences in mind: 1) They will likely ask for proof. 2) They may not match the offer. If you are willing to accept those consequences, then it's a viable idea. I would not call it a 'good' idea.
No. Your best bet for advancement is to get a real job offer, then take it. :) If you are suddenly more important to the company ONLY because you're leaving, that's not a place you want to stay. As well, since they know you are semi-serious about leaving them, they may find an excuse to speed that process up.
Maybe, but a real job opp would be better, or letting them know you are considering moving out of the area, but a raise may change your mind
No. Get a real job offer, and then take it. A company that doesn't value your work right now isn't going to start valuing your work just because you get another offer.
No. Just go get another job {even if it's one that you won't like as much) with a higher salary. If, after a few months, you haven't grown to like that job, search for yet another job that matches your salary but you enjoy more. Repeat until you've found the perfect job or you've retired.
No, everyone is replaceable and will do what you do for less.
Yes. Or you could just really look for another job. A place where they refuse to give you a raise when you have a good reason, is not a healthy place.
Not good. If they call your bluff you are out of a job or branded as a liar. Go find a good job and then put in your two weeks notice.
No, I think it is better to be honest that this is not what you are looking for and might have to look for other opportunities if there can be no growth at the current workplace.
That's always tough to determine. Depending on the company you work for, you may be considered easily replaceable. And when that happens and you were to wager that job as a means to get a raise, they might tell you to go ahead and take it. Make sure that you are an asset to the c0moany and they would be willing to compromise in 9rder not to lose you.
Lying is never a good idea. Ask them and if the company doesn't give you one give them your 2 week notice. And find one that pays better. A good worker is hard to find.
No They can replace you in a heartbeat
It would be a better idea to find a real job offer and leave the company that you're with. Hint, though, everyone feels like they are underpaid.
Go interview for a job opening with a competitor.
no. if you want to leave, then start looking and see if you find something better. fake ultimatums are always a bad idea.
No, but you already knew that. When you don't already have an offer good enough to jump to, if your current employer calls your bluff, you will be in a worse position than you're in, now. Bide your time. Look for a better situation, and leverage that if you really want to stay where you are. The question then becomes one of why you'd stay at a company that refuses to give you a raise if you get a better offer elsewhere.
Yes I would like a raise
It'd be better to find a job that values you.
No, dishonesty is never a good idea.
Yeah, go for that...maybe it would make more sense to negotiate what you do to add to the bottom line and see if that helps. You need to ask yourself, is it worth less pay because the environment is better. I would rather be treated like a human and paid less than paid more and treated like an asshole.
