Do you know what motivates employees? A pay raise or a promotion.

A great workplace is one that cares for its employees. When an employee asks for a pay raise, the company should consider it because if the company will not consider his request, he will quit the job. Employees are not bound to stay in a company that is not willing to pay them what they deserve. When a company refuses the request of an employee, they are making him/her feel that he/she is not worthy of it. Well, employees of today are smart and when they get such a response, they leave such jobs immediately and find better jobs that are willing to pay them for their skills.

A Reddit user asked his company to raise his salary as he was looking after multiple tasks and his workload was doubled due to high turnover. The company refused his request by saying if he wants a pay raise he need to work more hours. This man did not go to work the other day and the company was unable to work without him.

Companies need to appreciate hardworking employees. Companies are nothing without their employees and if a company knows that an employee is putting extra effort, the company should give them a promotion or at least a raise in order to appreciate them and motivate them. Companies often expect productivity from the employees’ end but forget the responsibility from their end. Scroll down to read what the Reddit users are suggesting OP.
