What this episode’s about:
In this episode, we hear from someone we've named, "Dismayed Draco," who accidentally found out he is the lowest-paid employee in his company. Helping Draco navigate his feelings of frustration and underappreciation, we provide a structured framework which we call "RAISES" to help Draco navigate the often nerve wracking process of asking for a raise. We look at this from the viewpoints of conflict resolution, HR, and psychology.
Why listen:
