All right, So Steph has a 19 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 2: great question. She says, Hello, ladies, I'm a huge fan 20 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 2: of the podcast. Thank you for all that you do. 21 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: I'll get right to it. I have been headhunted by 22 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: one of my company's direct competitors and it's looking like 23 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: they will give me a job offer. The position would 24 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 2: be a lateral move, but it pays much more than 25 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 2: I make Right right now, that said, I don't want 26 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 2: to work for them. I've not heard great things about 27 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: the company, and I'm currently very happy with where I'm working, 28 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 2: despite the fact that I believe I should be paid 29 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 2: a higher salary. My question, once I've received the job offer, 30 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: do I turn it down and never say a word 31 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 2: to my boss, or do I tell my boss that 32 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 2: I've been headhunted by a competitor to see if my 33 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 2: company can match the offer. I'm afraid that if he 34 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 2: says our company can't match it, I'll have to leave 35 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: my job and work at a company I don't like. 36 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: This is all you manage it, I'm like, woo, I love. 37 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: This question so much. First and foremost, Steph, even though 38 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: you hate this company, it's amazing that you have been 39 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: headhunted because that tells me immediately that you have a 40 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: strong professional brand. Like they needed someone to fill this role. 41 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 2: They found you on LinkedIn, I'm sure, or some other 42 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 2: avenue and they were like, Steph, this is our girl. 43 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 2: She has what we need sight unseen. So that's great, 44 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: and you should be flattered and feel good about the 45 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: fact that you were headhunted. Don't lose sight of the 46 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 2: fact that you have some leverage here. So I know 47 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: that you have this competing offer, and like you're nervous 48 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 2: because you think if you go to your manager and say, hey, 49 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 2: they've got a competing offer, that they're maybe just going 50 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 2: to show you the door and be like, yeah, we 51 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: can't match that, so you can go work for you 52 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 2: know whoever down the street. But here's the thing, Like, 53 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 2: if you are really good at your job and they 54 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: really value you, I highly doubt that's going to happen. 55 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: Like this job market, it's hard to find great talent 56 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: these days, and it's very expensive to go back from 57 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 2: ground zero and have to start recruiting for a new 58 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: role again. So I honestly would walk into a conversation 59 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: with your boss. And to be clear, I think you 60 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: definitely should talk to your boss about this, because this 61 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: is one of the best strategies you can use to 62 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 2: get a raise at the place where you currently work. 63 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: And I coach people who have a lot less leverage, 64 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,559 Speaker 2: who literally are just like I've been given more responsibilities. 65 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: You know, I've done some market research and I think 66 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 2: that I should be paid this, and then they make 67 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 2: a case to their managers and they've gotten it. You 68 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: actually have a company who's telling you, like, here's a 69 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 2: hard offer telling you that you're worth more. So that 70 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 2: is actual leverage. And if your company, like again, if 71 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 2: you're great at your job and you're highly valued, you 72 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 2: should be able to go to them, like you know, 73 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 2: respectfully and say, hey, here's the thing. I've been headhunted. 74 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: I've got this competing offer. You guys. I want to 75 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 2: stay here, like I definitely do, but I can't ignore 76 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: the fact that I have been valued more by a competitor. 77 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: And so I want to give you guys an opportunity 78 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: to match this offer or get as close as possible 79 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: and then stop talking and let them take it into 80 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 2: the whatever room they're going to take it to, let 81 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: him forward the email on to HR and figure out 82 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: what they can do for you. Then it's really up 83 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: to you, Like they may come back to you and say, hey, 84 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: we cannot, you know, get you all the way here, 85 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: but we can get you part of the way. You know, 86 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 2: we can maybe give you a retention bonus now and 87 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: revisit it a later time in the year, whatever, then 88 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: it's up to you do you want to stay or 89 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: do you want to take that offer. I mean, I 90 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 2: think ultimately is the money going to be worth you 91 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: being miserable, Especially if you have a good idea that 92 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: the place you're going to work is not the place 93 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 2: for you, then this may not just be the opportunity 94 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 2: for you right now. But I wouldn't look at it 95 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 2: at a loss. Like let's say they decide they're not 96 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: going to match the offer, and you're exactly where you 97 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 2: started out, still working for this company, knowing that you're underpaid. 98 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: I and sometimes you can feel like, oh, well, I 99 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: haven't really accomplished anything, but I think you have. I think, 100 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 2: for one, you've verified that you're being underpaid and you 101 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: should look yourself for other jobs that you will love 102 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 2: that will pay you more. And on top of that, 103 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 2: you've like made a great connection in another company, and 104 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: your professional brand you've been confirmed is really strong. So 105 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: this to me, for you is like. 106 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: A win win. 107 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 2: But I definitely would take the offer to your boss, 108 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 2: give them a chance to match it. But then you 109 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 2: got to make the best choice for yourself. And I 110 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: know I'm all about quitting your way rich, but I'm 111 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 2: not quitting your way miserable, Like that's not what I'm about. Like, 112 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 2: I don't think you should just taste dollar signs just 113 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 2: to be chasing them. So I'm really glad that you 114 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 2: sent this question. Congratulations and I want an update. 115 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: And I'll say this as a as a boss, you 116 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: know who has employees.

You know, so 126 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: I would be looking to keep you, you know, or 127 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: if we can't afford to match, she might say, Honestly, 128 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: you know, based upon our company size and our revenue whatever, 129 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: we can't do a full but we could do sixty 130 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: or seventy percent. I would offer you something if I 131 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: thought you brought a lot to the table, you know, 132 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: because always I'm thinking to myself what's best for the 133 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: overall company, you know, But what's best for the overall 134 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: company is also not only to worry about the financials, 135 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: but to have the best people working here. So to 136 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: Mandy's point, you know, like it doesn't there's no harm. 137 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: If if like my best employee came and told me this, 138 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh, oh my gosh.

It's like when someone else says that someone's cute, 148 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 2: Like when you're dating someone, they're getting a little complacent. 149 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 2: Then they find out someone else hit on you. They're like, 150 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 2: oh wait a second, my girl is really cute. Like 151 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 2: that's it's very much like relationships.

Tiff what's our next question? 156 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: I actually just. 157 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: Our next question sheet. It comes from Sarah on IG. 158 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: Yes you get up us up on IG. We are 159 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: Brown Vision Podcast on Instagram and Sarah said, Hey, Tiffany 160 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: and Mandy, what are your thoughts on the over employment 161 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: movement happening? And honestly I never heard of the overemployment movement? 162 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: Can you? What is that? Mandy? 163 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: Yeah? So being over employed these days is basically because 164 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 2: of how many places are now allowing people to work remote. 165 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: People who have more time on their hands because they're 166 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: not commute, you know, for example, they've got more time 167 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: available and they've got more flexibility. They're taking on more jobs. 168 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: So like you see people doing gig work, like freelancing 169 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: work or in like I've actually had a coaching client 170 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 2: who who hired me to talk her through a situation 171 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 2: where she kept her full time job. I think she 172 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: was based in Arizona, kept her full time job, took 173 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: another job that hired her. They were based in New York, 174 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 2: but were allowing her to stay remote, so between the 175 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 2: time difference, she was able to like have a nine 176 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 2: to five work day doing two jobs. And the reason 177 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 2: she did that was not to necessarily, we'll take advantage 178 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 2: of the situation, but because she wasn't sure the second 179 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 2: job was going to work out and she wanted to 180 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: like give them ninety days, but she was afraid to 181 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 2: quit her other job. I would not recommend that. That's 182 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 2: all kinds of if people find out, like I feel 183 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 2: like there would be a way for someone to find out, 184 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: I would not recommend that. But I definitely know a 185 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 2: lot of people who are taking on a lot of 186 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 2: extra work because they feel like, oh, I've got these 187 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 2: extra hours in the days, So why wouldn't I, you know, 188 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 2: be trying to squeeze this for all I can and 189 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 2: get more money out of it. I mean, my only 190 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: thought is for people who are wanting to advance in 191 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 2: their careers, I would just make sure that the additional 192 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 2: work that you're taking on is helping you gain new 193 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 2: skill sets or get experience for the path that you 194 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 2: want to go on in the future. So, especially for pivoters, Like, 195 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 2: if you're someone who's you're working in a field now 196 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: and you want to go into a new field, I'm 197 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: talking to you educators. I talk to so many educators 198 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 2: to teachers who yes and they want a new path. 199 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 2: And one of the things we're usually lacking is you 200 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 2: know that hard experience, like the hard and like the 201 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 2: skills or the showing your work like a portfolio or something. 202 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 2: So I've got teacher clients who are like taking a 203 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 2: course on the side and then taking on freelance work 204 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 2: to like build up their portfolio. I think that's smart, 205 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 2: because that's getting you to where you want to go. 206 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: I don't know about people who are like taking on 207 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: a bunch of work just for the sake of doing it. 208 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 2: Like maybe your goal is just to make some extra cash. 209 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 2: But if I were doing it, then I would say, 210 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 2: choose a side gig or choose another job that is 211 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 2: able to like propel you forward in your career or 212 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 2: business or whatever you're trying to do. 213 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: No, I see that because honestly, when I I mean 214 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: now that I understand what that means. When I was 215 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: a teacher, I used to have summers off, and I 216 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: knew it was different, but I knew a lot of 217 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: teachers that would work in the summer, you know, so 218 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I've got two jobs, but I've got, 219 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: you know, like my school time job and then I 220 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: have my summer job or too. Sometimes I also know, 221 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: like so a Drew and he was working for housing. 222 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: He one of his closest friends was a super at housing, 223 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 1: but also on the weekends worked at a hospital because 224 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: he had his boiler license, so he would keep like 225 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: the boilers and the and you know, the acs and 226 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: things running at the hospital. So, you know, because it 227 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: provided extra money. And honestly, the lift was super light. 228 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 1: So I just think that, you know, like when incorporating 229 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: additional work, to Mandy's point, unless it's necessary to keep 230 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: your family afloat. You need food, you need shelter, you 231 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: need safety, you need medicine and transportation. You know, like 232 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: taking on work that overworks you, you know, that's a 233 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: temporary solution at best, because you know it's only but 234 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: so long before you're going to exhaust yourself. My advice 235 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: has always been like, if you're taking on extra work 236 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: just for extra money for your pocket, to look for 237 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: something that is an extension of what you currently do. 238 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: To Mandy's point, like, it's like, okay, it can propel 239 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: you forward. But also too, I like that too because 240 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: oftentimes there's not a new skill set, especially if I 241 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: want to do light lift stuff like I used to 242 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: tutor and babysit on the side when I taught preschool. 243 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: It was super easy. I got off at three, I 244 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: picked whatever kid up at like three thirty till five 245 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: thirty extra mo money for my pocket. Plus I got 246 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: paid extra because I was a teacher, you know. Or 247 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: to do something where you already have like a certification 248 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: or whatever, it will lead to that, because that can 249 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 1: lead to extra pay as well, or just an increase 250 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: in knowledge base so you can take that with you 251 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: wherever you want to go. So yeah, I'm all for 252 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: making extra money, but not overworking yourself unless it's absolutely 253 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: necessary to support yourself and to create safety for yourself 254 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: and your family. 255 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 2: And y'all be careful if you're working full time jobs 256 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 2: back to back or even a part time job, keep 257 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 2: that stuff separate, Like I wouldn't be doing work for 258 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: one job on your other jobs. Company provided computer like 259 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 2: that will get you fired in a swiftness, with the quickness, okay, 260 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 2: so keep things separate. You have to be really good 261 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 2: at time management, so like be realistic about what you 262 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: can actually handle in a given day, because I think 263 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 2: it will catch up to you. And I feel like 264 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 2: also companies are getting savvier and they're starting to implement 265 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 2: like time tracking systems and things like that. So I 266 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 2: think now they're getting savvier. We're a couple of years 267 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 2: into this pandemonium, so maybe the jig will be up 268 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 2: for some people.
