As a practitioner, we all face a very real problem: prices have been soaring, and from the house to the rice, oil, and salt are crazy to rise, poor, is our salary and the stock I bought delayed? I paid my rent, telephone fee, bus fee, and meals in one month. So in today's article, it is necessary to discuss our salary and income and analyze the value of being a programmer to the company to calculate our value? Are you satisfied with your salary? Why do companies need to pay us?
First of all, we must make it clear that the bosses are not doing a good job in the company. Although they are not the workers in the textbooks, they will definitely do everything they can to invest in, to put limited funds in the right direction, that is to say, to the place with the highest return, the company needs to rent a site, pay water and electricity, pay taxes, pay labor, and consider inflation, operation risks and other costs, the company also needs to survive, so many companies will calculate the return and return rates, if under this rate of return, there will be no investment with the highest ROI will be the key investment, the same is true for the company's treatment of employees. If your ROI is low, it will be difficult for you to raise your requirements.
Dear friends, have you ever thought about how much your company has invested for you every year? Generally, we only know how much salary the company has paid to us? But I don't know anything else. While paying our salary, the company also spent welfare funds, training fees, activity expenses, and team building fees for us. These are intangible start-up costs, although we cannot get direct funds, the company is still spending money on employees. As an employee of a company, we are used to constantly asking for salary. The company has given us a higher salary. Within a period of time, we will feel very good, however, we will soon find that the company's growth is not enough. We will look forward to the next salary increase, and we will often look forward to it. "If we want to increase the salary by 7-8 million a month, I can buy a new ipad or iphone ". In fact, no matter how much we raise every time, as long as we are not the boss, we will not be satisfied with our own salary. Once the salary increase falls below our expectation, we will be dissatisfied with the company or want to change jobs.
How much money does the company spend on us? This amount of money must be much higher than the salary we get. In a formal foreign company, the extra money the company spends on you is usually 1-times of your salary, that is to say, if your annual salary is 0.1 million, the company will spend 20-yuan each year on you. Of course, many of the bosses and private companies that do not focus on human resources are the exception. Now it's the company's turn to ask you:
How much benefit can you bring to the company in one year? How many positive effects do you have on the company's annual sales? The boss spends 0.2 million yuan a year on you. How much do you return to the boss? Is there 0.2 million? Or more?
You will certainly say that I am just a small programmer. I cannot make money in the company. Even if the company makes a lot of money, I still get my salary every month. This is indeed the case. Of course, from the boss's point of view, if you cannot create 0.2 million of the company's benefits, 0.1 million of the annual salary I will give you is a waste of the company's resources. The boss generally has two purposes: first, satisfy your needs and appease your mind. Second, let you be grateful, work hard, and then double the company's investment.
If you increase the company's benefits by 10% every day, the company will raise your salary by 20% every year. Because the base is different, the company's annual sales of tens of millions of * 10% is totally profitable than your salary of tens of thousands of * 20%.
(This is the same as some city leaders have advertised their political achievements and said they want to keep house prices up to 10%. The result is the same as that of the Chinese people. Millions of houses increase by 10% in a year. If our salary increases by 50% in a year, we are still farther and farther away from the house. The base is different. multiplied by is just a digital game .)
So when my friends ask for a higher salary, think more about the company. How much value have you created for the company every day? When you use the computer provided by the company every day, enjoy the company's air conditioner, and drink coffee in the tea room, have you ever thought about how? Improve the company's profit and sales. If we increase our software products and quality, how can we provide the development level of our entire team?
Pre-requests must be given first. Bosses are not fools. The world is relatively fair. So, while pursuing personal interests, Please calculate your investment potential from the company's perspective? Why don't my boss give you a higher salary? Do you want to increase your salary increase chances? If the boss is not a fool, if you create the highest value among the employees, your salary will naturally be the highest. In this case, if you like programs, if you want to continue to develop in this industry, please put down your burden, put down your so-called complaints, and quickly improve your development capabilities and the potential to be invested by the boss. Weak meat and powerful food, the survival of the fittest, will not change.
