𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗸𝗲𝘀: . As you all have seen at some point in your 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱, this joke goes: "𝗠𝗲: 𝗦𝗶𝗿, 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘆? 𝗕𝗼𝘀𝘀: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼? 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗜 𝘀𝗮𝘆: 𝗦𝗶𝗿, 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻; 𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀: 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸?" This is the reality: Our organization doesn't consider hard-working employees; they just wait for new ones and pay them higher salaries compared to those who have been working there for a long time. They should increase the salaries of existing employees to get more effective work from them. That's why we should consider doing something other than just our job. Learning new skills daily is really helpful for our better future. We need to focus on our vision, start freelancing work, and earn more than a salary. We should build a personal brand and collaborate with other effective co-workers, working on own skills which is helpful for work. #Linkedincommunity #links #newpost #corporatejokes #content #contentwriting #talkaboutreality

Redundancy isn’t personal, here’s the proof… I’m seeing an overwhelming number of posts written by people reeling from redundancy. It’s a horrible feeling, I’ve been there. But as someone who’s come out the other side and now writes freelance for beauty brands, magazines and websites I could only ever dream of working with when I was on payroll, hear me out: 👉 IT’S NOT YOU! 👈 While completing my tax return recently, I decided to "get my geek on" and work out the percentage of my freelance salary paid to me by the same publishing house that made me redundant. This included covering annual leave for my previous line manager and commissions from other magazines published by them, as well as writing for the commercial content arm of the company, delivering on projects for a handful of big beauty brands. Now, I realise this is pretty niche (most companies don’t have the same infrastructure as a huge publishing house made up of multiple brands), but I’m sharing these figures in the hope they prove how little layoffs have to do with talent or ability: % of my freelance salary earned from the company that made me redundant: 1st year → 47% 2nd year → 49% (not including the 7% earned from ex-colleague referrals) 3rd year → 14% (not including the 52% earned from ex-colleague referrals) Now, obviously I can’t promise you’ll get work from your previous employer, or through referrals from your ex colleagues, but what I can do is tell you to pick your confidence up off the floor and remember your worth. There are infinite reasons a company has to let people go, so don’t automatically get in your head and jump to the "obvious" conclusion (I’m not good enough), because the likeliness is, it’s far from the truth… #redundancy #copywriter #beauty

The number 1 way to hit your salary goal — is to know what you are worth. When I was in my 20's I ran day camps for the YMCA. Every summer, I had about 200 employees across 4 sites. One day one of the supervisors at my biggest site told me, "that's why they pay you the big bucks." She knew I was not actually making big bucks. I was making less than a first year teacher. But I was making bigger bucks than she was. Because I could do things she couldn't do (turn around broken programs, departments or processes). So whatever your definition of big bucks is — ask yourself — are my current skills and experiences worth the big bucks? If it isn't worth big bucks — it is time to build a plan to: 💰identify the skills and experiences you need to make the big bucks 💰develop a plan to acquire those skills and experiences: freelance? pro bono? volunteer for a new project at work? get a new job where they'll train you to do these things? make it happen What if you are already worth big bucks but you aren't making the big bucks now? 💰either you need to own your worth and ask for it 💰or you need to demonstrate your worth, before you ask for it And if you don't know the answers to these questions? Ask. 💰Ask recruiters who work for similar companies and hire people like you 💰Ask leaders in your field who have a reputation for developing talent 💰Ask a career coach who has designed talent strategy for dozens of venture-backed tech startups and has compensation data stored in her brain. That last one? That would be me. _______________________ 🧡 from Wendy — your favorite job search coach and founder of Taking Charge 🍸I can swirl a cocktail, finish off a steak, reinvent your career, and create calm in your job search!

What a strange people in this world. Each person's thinking is different in all cases. When you're going to do a project together, everyone has different opinions but ultimately everyone has to come to the same point of view on the work.Still, criticism persists. As it would be better to do it this way, it is not right to do it this way, the seniors in the office understand a little more. Now let's talk about another way, that is, remote or hybrid jobs are spreading all over the world, but most of these jobs have to be cheated about the salary because those who are doing the work are doing their work properly. But when they give salary, the employer makes various excuses, like then they spread links and then they all run away without paying salary. This is how they are running the company by taking unpaid work from different people. Who is it fooling? Another thing is, like you respect a person, what will he do, he will respect you, then for some time he will give you various advices and do many things, and later he will think you weak and humiliate you. Many do not realize what is happening, who is suffering more. It is also not right because people are for people. And in this diverse world, people are the main obstacle of people. Sorry if wrong. #digitalmarketing #an-marketing #dg-marketing #socialmediamarketing #searchengineoptimization(SEO)

"Three years of experience" doing what? 😂🤡 "I have created faceless videos for my clients" I can't figure out the word that Autocorrect may have changed. Does he mean videos with no people in them? 🤔 😂 WHO CARES??? 🤣🤷♂️ At this point, **AI** can make videos with no people in them. For Free! 😂🤖 "However, after working for one client for 7 to 8 months at $20 for a 20-minute video, I asked for a pay increase. He told me that if I wanted to continue working, I shouldn't ask for an increment; otherwise, I would be fired." wait. 😂 You're telling on yourself that you don't live in the USA. 🇺🇸 If you don't live here, your cost of living is basically ZERO 😂 so don't worry about pay increases if somehow you're still alive after working 8 months at $20 per video. American Minimum Wage is $7.25/hour -> https://lnkd.in/eXxSTUaT That means that you would be allocating 2.76 hours to each video to earn your $20. Let's even round that off to 2.5 hours per $20 video and you work 10 hours per day, so wherever you live, you've been surviving off of $80/day GROSS??? 😂 Be happy that you landed the job you did. Keep doing that job. Stay on the lookout for higher-paying jobs. Upgrade when you can. There's this misperception that people are PROMOTED as Video Editors. 😂 No. Somebody LIKES working with you and you WIN FOR THEM and they REQUEST YOU In one situation, I was IN BED 🛌 in the morning minding my own business because I wasn't booked for the day, and a client called me to ask if I could work THAT DAY!!! 🤣🤦♂️ I liked/like that client very much, so I agreed to it and a company car was sent to my house to drive me to the studio at their expense and the same company had to drive me back home to my doorstep at the end of the day at their expense and I did the work for them and they appreciated it. 🙏 That's how it works. People see a chance to work with a WINNER 🦸♀️🦸♂️ and that's what they want for their business, so they contact you. So assuming it wasn't a typo and you've been creating $20 "faceless videos" for your client, Nobody Cares. Your "three years of experience" is in editing garbage. 🗑️ Also, you're probably not a Video Editor at all, but rather a Graphic Artist who puts words on TikTok videos. "I left the job due to" do you know how BAD the video editing industry is right now? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 How ENTITLED are you that you can leave a job without already having a better one? 🤔 "I want to earn enough money to support my family again" are you kidding? 😂 People tell on themselves. You don't care about your family if you're quitting paying work! Did you think about how your family was going to eat? nope. YOU were worried about pressing your client for more money and you ended up with less money. 🤷♂️ "heavy workload and low payment" I haven't read anything that says you deserve more than that. Use your skills. Support your family. Live with it.

Salary Confessions: Hollywood Workers Dish On How The Industry Has Changed 💸 This week, The Ankler, LAist’s partner for Entertainment Thursdays, launched a Salary Confessions series featuring anonymous interviews with people across the entertainment industry sharing intimate details about their careers and the state of their finances. Why it matters: Assessments of the state of Hollywood inevitably note the effects of the pandemic and last year’s strikes as budgets are cut and layoffs implemented. But these catch-all citations lose the human toll of all the change taking place in Los Angeles. Meet a downsized development exec: This person works at an independent production company and their role was recently reduced to part-time because management had become “less enthused about the direction the industry is moving in.” Their salary was reduced from $88,000 to $44,000. A surprising side hustle: To supplement their income, this person has started to freelance for an AI company helping to train its models, even though they’re aware this is Hollywood’s existential fear. “I feel I have important skills that others in my position do not (how to prompt and AI chatbot to get the best response),” this person says. For more . . . read the full story on The Ankler. This story is published in partnership with The Ankler, a paid subscription publication about the entertainment industry. ✍️ David Lidsky | The Ankler 📸 Robyn Beck/AFP via Getty Images
