    Bullshit read contractual law and other laws and adhere to it.. do it bettter than law requires. Win.

    You can behave against everyones interest with politeness.. you can rob a person and destroy a person politely.. and impolitely.

    Sandwitching feedback would be an option when only written comminication is possible but verbally that would not be my choice.

    I rather provide the message unfiltered first, pauze for dramatic effect, then soften the blow.
    Descreetly so nobody loses face and i get the cooperation i need.

    What motivates them? How about a salary increase that allows them to realistically keep up with today’s cost of living. add a 4th C compensate

    Hey TED team! Your business and leadership videos are incredibly inspiring. Please consider enabling YouTube’s new AI Auto-Dubbing feature for the Russian language on your channel. You have a massive Russian-speaking audience that would love to listen to these valuable insights in our native language. This would help millions of people grow and learn with you!

    Pay me accordingly or I’ll work somewhere else. Im Currently a licensed engineer that is underpaid for 12 years experience but my boss refuses raises. Sadly im in a niche corner of engineering so I’ve been unhirable after years of applying. Sucks im doomed in this field to never surpass $100k😢😢

      Unless you actually prepare to go work elsewhere, your words carry no weight.
      You know you can’t leave just like that, your boss knows that too.
      So take steps and make a little noise about your development, so it’s clear you will leave if nothing changes.
      The bright side of working in a niche space is that finding replacement will be more difficult and costly than just giving you your raise. Good luck!

    Sandwich technique is out-dated idiocy meant to cushion the blow. Communicate the need for improvement of what the employee is expected to deliver. Criticize not the person, but their product, and illustrate with evidence precisely how that product currently falls short of the expected standard.

    I had a manager who did the question thing 90% of the time when talking, and it did work for a couple of years but it eventually started feeling manipulative and I could never figure out what she wanted and I got frustrated and angry and avoided talking to her because I didn’t want to deal with the questions all the time. Eventually she realized I was doing this and started getting angry that I wouldn’t talk to her.

We’re living through oil wars, wildfire smoke and extreme weather driven by a warming planet. But environmentalist Bill McKibben says one thing is finally going right: the price of clean energy has plunged, making it cheaper than ever to power the world without burning fossil fuels. He breaks down how energy from the sun became the best option on Earth — and why this narrow window of time may be our last real shot at a different future. “Energy from heaven, not from hell,” he says.

Artist Joe Whale used to get in trouble for doodling in class, until a local restaurant let him cover an entire wall with his artwork … and the internet took notice. He traces his unlikely beginning to a bigger story: your imagination is a muscle, and it weakens when you hand it off to AI. Through a live doodling demo, he shows in real time what it looks like to let a thought become a drawing, one line at a time. (Recorded at Play@TED on May 14, 2026)
