Worker Is Left Heartbroken After Boss Hands Him A “Life-Changing” Envelope For All His Effort, Only To Find $250 Boss Envelope
Every dollar is valuable, especially when times are tough—nobody’s knocking that. But the very fact that TikToker Sam’s former boss said that the bonus was going to “change his life” is ridiculous. We’re not going to lie, it made us laugh harder than we have all week. And it just goes to show how just because someone is in a management position, they don’t necessarily know how toSam’s video raises a couple more important issues.
The second issue is that some managers create false expectations. They paint a rosy picture of what the work conditions and remuneration will be like. When their employees finally realize what the reality is like, it can create a lot of resentment and frustration. No boss should be surprised to see a high turnover rate if they promise their workers the world and keep underdelivering.
$250 might have meant something solid half a century ago, but it’s somewhat silly as a ‘life-changing’ bonus right now: getting $250 in 1973 would be the same as $2,816.85 in 2023. It won’t solve all of your problems, but it’s looking far more solid! Obviously, it would be wonderful if your boss understood this basic principle. If they’re from an older generation, they might have a very different instinctive understanding of a single dollar’s value than we currently do .
Meanwhile, if you’re aiming to get a raise or a promotion, you’ve got to constantly remind your boss of how much value you bring to your company. Something that you could do is keep them updated on major wins and projects , and schedule bi-annual performance reviews. Odds are that nobody sees the full extent of your hard work and your results. You need to remind them of both.Anyone can write on Bored Panda.
