Why “Doing More” Won’t Always Get You a Raise

Burning the midnight oil but still not getting that big hike? Doing more work doesn’t always mean earning more money. The real game is about impact, not effort.

Here’s what actually works:

💰 Focus on high-value tasks – Not all work is equal. Prioritize what moves the needle for the company. 💰 Be seen as a problem solver – Companies pay more for those who fix bottlenecks, not just follow instructions. 💰 Show measurable results – Instead of “I worked late,” say, “I streamlined this process and saved X hours.” 💰 Negotiate smartly – If you don’t ask, you don’t get. Highlight your wins with data, not emotions.

Hard work is good. Smart work gets you paid.
