As an HR professional, I can confirm that we occasionally cave to constant, repeated requests.

probably saw her sister tired from work and underpaid. Such a simple gesture but a huge impact for her sister 💖

Brb trying it out.

edit: so uh are you guys hiring?

u/Hemorrhageorroid 15h ago

Turns out what you did repeatedly is considered sexual harassment.

u/kitsumodels 7h ago

idk what I did wrong. I just sent repeated requests for her cave.

You've just opened a Pandora's box for HRs..

i'll make my family spam the crap out of hr to give me a raise. Aint no way im surviving on this economy

u/lauramixx 20h ago

now everyone is gonna spam hr to give them a raise :>

26

u/NotTheBigBang 21h ago

This can go both ways. Enough people complain about you can get you fired or demoted

13

u/LeanDixLigma 20h ago

The squeaky wheel may get the grease once, but after that it gets replaced.

u/NotTheBigBang 20h ago

And what's making the wheels go bad goes first 👍🏼

u/KerissaKenro 19h ago

It is cute if it comes from an eleven year old sibling, but I don’t think it would hit the same coming from a forty-something year old spouse.

If I thought it would work, I would be doing this every day. My husband just increased efficiency of a process by ten times. Where is his bonus? Where is his raise? He deserves something, ya’ skinflints

I did plant engineering for years and helped many of my customers improve their productivity and reduce costs. I got the orders for the instruments needed to make it happen, but the engineers I helped got incentives. In one instance, each of the 6 engineers in the department got $6000 for an automation project. In another instance, a worker on the line at a Ford foundry showed the management a way to save a ton of money on scrap they were throwing away. They gave him a Ford Mustang as a reward.

Hopefully your husband gets some recognition, and if not some bonus, then perhaps a promotion to a higher paying job.

u/pursuitofhappy 21h ago

you just invited all of us to bombard you with constant repeat requests for a job

u/deamonmist 21h ago

Do it! Maybe I'll get good candidates. Sales people to the front of the line.

u/Subotail 21h ago

At some point, your need for a raise isn't their problem. But this being disturbing every day is their problem.

u/PaltryCharacter 19h ago

My mom use to say the squeaky wheel gets the oil.  But then I heard somewhere else that the nail that sticks up gets hammered.  So there's probably some healthy medium there

u/hsifuevwivd 21h ago

Yeah we all know you don't promote people based on the work they do..

8

u/Asangkt358 20h ago

You understand that HR isn't typically in charge of promotions, right? That's your manager that's making that decision.

3

u/Impossible-Wear-7352 20h ago

And after he's gotten approval from his manager

0

u/hsifuevwivd 20h ago

You understand that the manager is not solely responsible for promotions, right? Companies have policies in place set by HR and managers have budgets. That's why it's easier to find a new job that pays more instead of relying on where you currently work.

1

u/Asangkt358 19h ago

I've spent 40 years working in large and small corporations. Not once have I ever seen a company where HR makes promotion decisions or an HR policy that would provide for HR to make such a decision.

1

u/hsifuevwivd 19h ago

I've worked in many companies where promotion requests are sent to HR for approval. Also, HR generally implements salary ranges. Also, HR has certain policies in place e.g. when promotions can happen, the percentage a salary can be increased by, etc. Managers work closely with HR to come up with salary and job specs. Managers are not solely responsible for your promotion or pay rise.

u/WhatDoesOneKnow 17h ago edited 9h ago

^this

I work in the tech industry. I am a manager of my team / department for my product(s). I can't do shit when it comes to promotions. I am not actually paying those people. My stakeholders (product owners) do - and they do it only by proxy, too.

I can talk to my stakeholder and tell them I want to plan in more budget because I want to give a raise. They might agree.

The people who actually pay (the C-Suite), sure as fuck won't have to agree. HR, and parts of the C-Suite have HR functions for this very reason, has ALL the salary data. They have to approve it, considering things like "is it fair towards others in same positions?" or "do we (the company) really want to spend that money? Do we think it's worth it?" etc.

HR will also conduct surveys with other colleagues to get a better picture of the situation, talk to all neccessary stakeholders in this regard etc.

Maybe /u/Asangkt358, depsite having 40 years of work experience, never actually made it to any "significant" position to learn how the company actually operates in the background.

Only because a manager wants to give you a raise, doesn't mean that they are giving you the raise. It's NOT their money.

2

u/steve_adr 21h ago

Why do you think HR's get $100+ gifts on birthdays and secret Santa..

2

u/hsifuevwivd 21h ago

because they save the company money by only promoting people based on how much they annoy HR it seems

u/PaltryCharacter 19h ago

Happy cake day friend.  I give you a raise of one upvote for all your hard work commenting on this thread.

u/hsifuevwivd 19h ago

Thank you friend <3

u/Schattentochter 19h ago

As an HR assistant, I can confirm that this is an absolute understatement.

The pesterers unfortunately rule the world.

This is obviously a lie. HR professionals only have 2 joys in their lives. Making employees miserable and the headpat they get from admin for doing so.

u/dupdeedup 22h ago

You need to give that sister a raise.

Also true.

Did it work? Did you get the raise?

u/Grobo_ 22h ago

It’s repost and not original

u/Disastrous_Hall8406 21h ago

Has anyone ever actually posted their own tweet on reddit?

49

u/donthavearealaccount 21h ago

The funny thing is that when they do, they get called a douche. Can't win.

10

u/yunivor 20h ago

You can, it's just that with twitter the winning move is not to play.

2

u/nicostein 18h ago

Ok but should I repost from my Bluesky, or like from my Club Penguin MySpace?

u/JohnnyCanuck 16h ago

Geocities or nothing

u/WaveLaVague 13h ago

Just like when you play the game

u/ChuckCarmichael 21h ago

I know that some people like to post screenshots of their own Tumblr posts on some subs.

2

u/rhabarberabar 20h ago

I'll gladly accept the reposts then.

2

u/corvidcurio 17h ago

Usually in subs like r/MurderedByWords or r/clevercomebacks when someone wants people to call them clever. But if others pick up that OP was also the person tweeting, it had better be something REALLY clever and original, or else the only one being murdered by words will be OP in the comment section. So, it doesn't happen super often.

I’m almost certain this comment is by a bot

u/Firm_Improvement2109 21h ago

She got fired.

u/OldeFortran77 21h ago

she got fired ... and was replaced by her 11 year old sister.

1

u/wordswithkay 21h ago

Did you find information on that on her Twitter ? Or is that an assumption

17

u/Firm_Improvement2109 21h ago

It's a joke.

Because this is repost.

Here is the same post:

7 YEARS AGO.

And people in comments are complaining that IT WAS ALREADY REPOST AT THAT TIME :D

u/No_Chain3955 22h ago

That's what sisters are for!

u/LillyCruzxo 22h ago

Did your sister really seal the deal for you or is this just a masterclass in sibling hustle?

So….did it work? Did you get a raise?

Yeah, don't leave us hanging!

"And she'll continue until you do. It will only escalate from here. Only solution is to give me that raise... and your pen. That's a sweet pen."

u/bbgun142 21h ago

I am going to start asking friends and family to periodically spam the company I work at to give me a raise

2

u/Wonderful-Trash-3254 21h ago

She definitely did not get that raise.

2

u/JimmyFu2U 20h ago

Plot twist, you still get reprimanded.

2

u/mortymouse 20h ago

And if she doesn't stop, you're fired.

2

u/TheBestAtWriting 18h ago

i wonder if HR has also been notifying her every time this is reposted

2

u/Training-Ear-614 18h ago

11 is too young to have an instagram account

u/ParticularCause1626 18h ago

Well, did they get a raise? Wtf? I need the rest of this story!

u/PartySr 21h ago

This tweet is at least 6 years old and the twitter account is suspended.

3

u/Snowbank_Lake 21h ago

Well considering who owns Twitter now, the account could be suspended for a dumb reason.

u/acouplefruits 20h ago

I was gonna say, this tweet has to be as old as the sister by now

u/AmazingAd2765 20h ago

Now the younger sister is the one that needs a raise.

u/Zypharaa 21h ago

That’s an incredible example of sibling support. I can just picture the HR person's surprise, but also how touched they must have been by her fierce loyalty. You share a very special bond with her. She deserves all the ice cream and the best big-sibling awards!

u/MechAegis 21h ago

can you get fired for something like this? What if you have a small online presence and your followers somehow found your other job and gave you 5 star reviews?

1

u/EskimoBrother1975 20h ago

Does that actually work?

1

u/Neat_Buffalo_Trace 20h ago

Well, your sister rocks and there is a simple way they could stop her from commenting on their page…give you a raise! What more do they need to know? You are obviously highly endorsed by your sister so that says a lot right there!

u/redhandsblackfuture 20h ago

Maybe Natalie wasn't aware but she WAS in trouble for this. Hence the HR.

u/buggyfreeware 19h ago

Years back I'd been on a long stretch of applying and interviewing with no luck. One interview came down to me and one other person and I didn't get it. My 16yo went to their website, found the contact form, and sent them a blistering rebuke about what they missed. I was mortified for the first minute or so, but pride overtook it quickly.

u/idreamofgeo 19h ago

LOOK AT THE NAME... it's photoshopped...

u/RamDassWasRight 15h ago

H.R. is there for one reason only. To protect the company. No raise for you

u/Q16Q 13h ago

Let me guess, now they “want to, but can’t do it”, because otherwise everybody else’s sister would start doing it
