发现公司给的工资太低怎么办？

    我说过，入职后要求加薪更难，你手里唯一的筹码就是辞职。不过还有另一个隐藏筹码，那就是你留下，让大家日子都不好过。除非你是某方面的专家，否则他们不会在乎你是否辞职（反正你很快就会被新人取代），但是他们会在乎你因为不满薪酬而变差的态度，因为你可能在办公室制造糟糕的氛围而降低大家的工作效率。美国国家半导体公司（National Semiconductor）总裁查理•斯波克曾经对我说，“我们当然不希望优秀的员工辞职离开，但如果他们辞职后却没有离开，那更糟糕。”这才是你手里真正的砝码。

    不过，我奉劝你尽可能避免出现这种局面。假如你找到经理，向他说明你的情况和想要的结果，而被他拒绝了，那么你可以选择辞职并离开，或者辞职并暂时留下，又或者留下，努力让自己发挥更大的价值，让他们未来无法再忽视你。只有你自己可以决定自己要做什么，但我奉劝你不要有任何仇恨行为、流露出消极的情绪、怠工、盗窃财物、磨洋工等等。一旦你走上那条路，这将迫使他们做出选择——炒掉你。就是这样的下场。

    如果你选择辞职，那么在寻找新工作期间也要努力工作。提前通知公司，好聚好散。人的记忆力很好，你绝对不希望给人留下尖酸、消极的形象，而是要成为一个积极的贡献者。口碑的有效期很长，未来数十年它既可能成就你，也可能毁了你的职业生涯。这样的例子我见过不止一次。公司聘请你是为了解决业务上的问题。不要让自己成为需要解决的问题。

    多年来我一直牢记著名作家阿尔伯特•哈伯德的一句话，我想用它作为结束语：

    “如果你为某个人工作，那就好好工作。如果他付给你工资，让你养活自己，那就赞美他、坚定地支持他和他所代表的组织。如果遇到困境，一分忠诚胜过十分聪明。如果你一定要辱骂、谴责和不停咒骂才能平息心中的怒火，那就辞职，并且离开后在心里默默谴责。但是只要你还是组织的一份子，就不要去谴责。如果你这么做，就会松动你和组织联系的根须，当第一次大风来临时，你就会被连根拔起，被风吹走，并且可能永远也不知道为什么。”

    事实是，你和老板荣辱一体。即使你辞职离开，也千万不要说公司的坏话。因为你搬起的这块石头，将来可能会砸在自己的脚上。（财富中文网）

    As I said, it’s harder for you to negotiate after the fact — the only implicit threat you have is that you will leave the company. The unspoken threat is that you will stay and make everyone miserable. Unless you are some guru they don’t really care if you leave (they’ll replace you quickly), but they will care if your attitude deteriorates from your pay situation and brings down productivity by spreading poison throughout the office. Charlie Spork, the President of National Semiconductor, once said to me, “It’s bad when good employees quit and leave, but it’s worse when they quit and stay.” That is the real threat you have looming over them.

    However, I urge you to avoid this path at all costs. Suppose you approach your manager and explain your situation and the desired outcome and he refuses. Your choices are to quit and leave, quit and stay or stay and apply yourself so that they cannot ignore you in the future. Only you can decide what you will do, but I urge you to avoid any bitter action, negative outpouring, sabotage, property theft, time chiseling and so on. Once you are on that road then they will be forced to make the choice, and that will be to fire you. That sort of thing follows you.

    If your choice is to quit, then work diligently while you seek another position elsewhere. Give notice and leave on good terms. People have long memories and you never want to be remembered as a bitter, negative employee but as a positive contributor. Blind references are like sleeper cells that can either make or break your career, decades into the future. I have seen it happen more than once. Companies hire you because they seek solutions to business problems. Don’t become a problem yourself that needs to be solved.

    I will close with a quote by writer Elbert Hubbard I have memorized through the years:

    “If you work for a man, in heaven’s name, work for him. If he pays you wages which supply your bread and butter, speak well of him; stand by him and the institution he represents. If put to a pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must vilify, condemn and eternally disparage – resign your position and when you are outside, damn to your heart’s content. But as long as you are part of the institution, do not condemn it. If you do that, you are loosening the tendrils that are holding you to the institution, and by the first high wind that comes along, you will be uprooted and blown away, and probably will never know the reason why.”

    But the fact is — he owns you. Even if you quit and leave, you must never say bad things about the company. This kind of poison will hurt you in the future.

    Good luck.
