Companies are loyal to their bottom line, not to their employees. Job security is an illusion — No job will provide 100% job security. As long as you work for someone else you are expendable.

The United States national debt has topped $33 trillion for the first time. Republicans blame the Biden administration for extensive federal spending programs like the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. Democrats blame the trillions spent on Republican tax cuts favoring the wealthy and corporations. The finger-pointing between the two political parties needs to end. America's out-of-control debt situation needs immediate attention before it derails the economy. Hold your elected officials accountable — Let them know that you are concerned about the national debt and that you want them to take steps to address it.

Here are 7 tips for an effective salary negotiation: 1) Research your worth: • Research the typical pay range for the role based on location, industry, your experience • Consider the total compensation package, not just the base salary 2) Have a target salary range: • Determine the minimum salary needed to accept and the ideal target salary • Use research to set a range, not just what you make currently or a specific number 3) Wait for the offer: • Avoid bringing up a salary number until the employer makes an offer first 4) Make a counteroffer: • Respond with a higher counteroffer after the employer makes an initial offer • Focus on the value you bring and your accomplishments, not what your co-workers make 5) Be ready to negotiate: • Come prepared with reasons justifying the higher salary • Keep negotiations friendly • Use persuasion and data, not demands or ultimatums 6) Consider other perks: • More PTO, work-from-home flexibility, professional development • May accept a lower salary if other perks offset 7) Get a final offer in writing: • Once negotiated verbally, follow up to get an official written offer letter

“Job security” is an illusion created by corporations. You job's only concern is how much money the company can make. Never kill yourself over a job that won’t hesitate to replace you. Life is too short to spend more time with your boss & co-workers, than with your own family.
