How Reposting This Years-Old Viral Video to LinkedIn Inspired Me to Deny Your Raise
You love this video, right? Then you love not having a raise!
When I think about my journey from high school, through college, and to this job, I get chills. Who would have thought, right out of school, I’d be able to catch the eye of a prominent CTO? Of course, he’s also a CEO …of our family …because he’s my dad. He’s a busy guy!
I too have that skill for blending two different things, like Bacardi and rum. But sometimes even I need a little nudge. And that’s where this years-old viral video really saved the day.
I know that you are a team player. I know that this company is a family. So, in order for you to play as a team on that family, I know that you understand that numbers have to get bigger. I simply cannot give you any more of our numbers. We’d have less numbers!
Like kicking back at the end of a blistering day with a piping hot gin and milk, I know this news comes as a bit of a surprise. But if you just give it a chance, I know you’ll see, in time, that I am cheerfully doing this regardless.
Look at this video. Maybe repost it on LinkedIn with a little note congratulating me. And don’t forget we need you this weekend.
