A year ago the world’s largest olive oil company was clear that it was going to continue expensive. Now he has just shown up

by

In 2022 deoleo, the largest marketer of olive oil in the world, He won 5.5 million euros of benefits. In 2023, lost 34. It is the best metaphor of the earthquake that the olive oil industry has lived in recent years. Above all, because we are not talking about a lost oil mill in Sierra Morena, we talk about the bottling brands such as Hojiblanca, Carbonell or Koipe. Therefore, if we are interested in olive oil, we must follow them closely. One year of transition. During 2023, drought, a short harvest and the increase in costs (derived from the situation in Ukraine, the inflationary scenario and high interest rates) caused a very serious problem in the oil. We know that well. The problem is that, although They themselves recognized that they had transferred “partial (mind) to customers the increase in prices experiments throughout the chain”, it had not been enough. And that deoleo was (at least, on paper) one of the marketers that More margins had for the ‘premium’ positioning of its brands. 2024 was, then, the year of transition. What happens is that ransition has been faster than anyone expected. In fact, I was not sure what was going to happen. And, at some point, they bet because prices They were going to stay up. His analysis said that if prices at origin did not fall sufficiently, the industry would have to contain the decrease of finalist prices (or expose to bankruptcy). That It is something that has happened: prices at origin have collapsed, while in supermarkets the descent is being very soft. However, with estimates that They tell us 1.4 million tons They have already realized that there is no way to contain the price in the medium term. Preparing for 2025. Hence Víctor Roig, general director in Spain of Deleo, has explained that “the logical thing is that this returns the price of the Aove to levels similar to those of 2021 and 2022, standing between three and four euros per liter.” In this context, the battle has begun to be another. Recover the oil culture. In the last decade, the consumption of olive oil It has been falling year after year. Crisis after crisis (and with the mediation of A deep cultural and gastronomic change), wide layers of the population have dropped from olive oil and the vast majority of them have not returned. It is true that demand has not fallen into that same proportion That prices have grown. But consumption has decreased 44.5% Less in the last three years and, following the previous logic, nobody knows if the industry will recover it. And if in recovering from the losses there was a short -term survival of the industry, in bringing all those consumers back is the future.

The owner of a Tesla Model and has filled his roof of solar panels to load “up to 100 km”. It is not a good idea

by

He Solar car It’s like gold for the electric car. There, all wishes will be fulfilled: we will load our cars free of charge. End of the bonds of electric and oil forever. But we are so far from getting something like the gold appears in our lives. Different companies have proposed to experiment with the solar car and even sell their own models. Toyota, with the PRIusit filled the roof of it so that its plates would help the electrical components of the car. Mercedes, in his EQXX visionhe has played with the same idea. And, despite everything, from Sttutgart to Silverstone, a trip in which they toured more than 1,200 kilometersthey barely managed to extend the autonomy of the vehicle in less than 50 kilometers. But the Marketing From a solar car is very far. In the PRIus He contributed little. The Mercedes is a prototype designed to look for the limits of efficiency, both in aerodynamics and in chemistry of its batteries and consumption of its engines, so it is not too representative either. The 3.57 kWh recovered by the solar panels yielded much more in a vehicle of these characteristics than in a street car. Sono Zion, one of the most advanced projects, He ended up canceling. Those responsible for Lightyear, who said they were able to travel for free 70 kilometers daily with their solar car, have also ended by Lower the blind. In fact, since the vehicle was announced in 2019, its managers did not stop lowering expectations and, with them, the number of kilometers per year that the car could travel thanks to its solar panels. But all this has been no impediment to the owner of a Tesla Model and that ensures in Reddit having made your electric SUV a much more efficient vehicle thanks to some solar panels distributed along the ceiling. Figures that, of course, you have to take with tweezers. Putting it in quarantine As he has counted in a thread of Redditthis owner of a tesla model and ensures that he has designed a system of Foldable solar panels that allow you to load every day between 30 and 100 kilometers a day. In the presentation of his project, the user explains that the panels are folding and installed on the roof baca. He assures that in this first version, the panels stand out about 27 centimeters from the ceiling of the vehicle but that, in a new version in which he is working, he will reduce the height to about 15 centimeters, improve the flush and create a carbon fiber support To lighten the set. In total, the Tesla Model and can carry in the future, always according to the user, 4,000 W packaged On the roof, which once deployed can recover part of solar energy, transform it into electricity and recharge the car while it is parked. But many doubts arise here. First, he assures that He is working So that the solar energy is transformed into electric and goes directly to the car battery so, we understand, for now the energy is stored in a battery that subsequently recharges the vehicle. The other great doubt that arises is about the true efficiency of the whole. In 2019Toyota created a prototype of the PRIus that filled the entire roof, the rear window and the hood of the solar panel car. A surface that generated 860 W. With them, Toyota said he could travel some 45 extra kilometersbut they were based on the Japanese homologation cycle, much more lax than Europeans. In the case of Tesla Model and, the weight of the panels touches the maximum of 75 kg that in the United States can move on the ceiling, so it will irremediably affect consumption. First of all, those 75 kg of weight, which is more or less like going with one more person in the car. And, much more critical, for the impact on automobile aerodynamics, which would be very damaged. The creator says that he has not calculated the latter but believes that consumption worsens at 10%. All this has led some Work reviewers To affirm that the car can barely travel a little more than 40 kilometers under real circulation conditions. That without entering into the impact that the solar panels have on the dynamics of the vehicle and the march comfort, because it must be difficult to ignore the generated noise.

If it is a matter of time for AI to enter our cars, Nissan and Deepseek have decided to advance

by

Deepseek’s adoption is being much faster than that of Chatgpt. The artificial intelligence that arises as the new reference in China is already integrating natively into smartphones manufacturers, such as Honor and Nubia In your native country. He is also landing in electric cars, such as ByD, which have already signed agreements to improve their autonomous driving system thanks to Deepseek technology. Following his steps, the first Japanese manufacturer to bet on this Open Source model for greater interface level integration has been Nissan. A plan similar to the byd. This week we knew byd’s plans to integrate Depseek into its research and development line. The agreement with Byd had as its main focus to implement an advanced autonomous driving system, raised for both high -end vehicles and for the most accessible. Beyond the autonomous driving plans, improvements were raised in the vehicle’s own software thanks to the integration of this AI. Is exactly what he wanted Announce Nissan. The company has revealed that its new electric sedan, the Nissan N7 (a vehicle born of a joint venture with the Dongfeng and oriented to the Asian market), is the first vehicle to incorporate a deep integration with Depseek-R1. The vehicle will be able to process natural language, make recommendations related to navigation and entertainment system, as well as adjust to driver’s habits to vary their behavior. A thrust for software. From a time to this part, the software has become one of the main keys when it comes to a vehicle. Android Auto, Android Automotive, Apple CarPlay, Own Solutions of the manufacturer, Alliances with video game development companies… Who wants to lead the car of the future has to lead in software, and alliances with agents such as Depseek will be key to it. China is also one of the countries that is leading the transition to the electric vehicle, and having the main alternative to Chatgpt can completely shake the market. Nissan is not alone. Nissan and Byd are not the only companies that have approached Depseek. The gigantic Chinese group Geely, owner among others of Polestar and Volvo, has also opted for China to integrate it in the future in some of its vehicles. The objective and advantage for the user? The same as in the previous case: that drivers can enjoy a more connected driving experience, thanks to the natural understanding of language that these models allow.

births have fallen 50% since the Baby Boom time

by

Spain does not go through its best demographic moment. The data published yesterday by the INE show that the country touches the 49.1 million of inhabitants, Your biggest brand of the historical series, with almost 1.7 million residents more than at the beginning of this decade. And yet, despite that record figure, that he had never lived as many people in Spain as now, the truth is that demography faces a huge challenge: birth of birth, which makes growth It basically supports In immigration. And there is a fact that reveals it clearly: the number of births has fallen more than 50% From the Baby Boom. Spain, in record. Spain faces a peculiar population scenario. He had never resided so many people in the country nor had he been so close to reaching the barrier of the 50 million inhabitants, and yet, despite that good news advanced yesterday For the INE, Spain also faces a deep and worrying demographic crisis. It may sound contradictory, but deep down both trends have little mysterious: the census grows, but supported fundamentally in The arrival of immigrantswhich has been the great demographic crutch of the country throughout the last year. With regard to birth, things are very different. Waiting to know the final balance of 2024, the 2023 data They reflect that this indicator is far, far away, from going through its best moment. A figure: 49.07 million. That is the official number of resident population of Spain the first day of 2025. The data is good for several reasons. As Remember the INEit is the “maximum value of the historical series” and shows that in the last year the state register won about 458,300 people. Reading is clear, as is its explanation: if Spain grows it is basically because of the balance of immigrants. “Population growth was due to the increase of people born abroad, since those born in Spain decreased,” Point out The statistical observatory before moving on to the data: on January 1, the population born in Spain had experienced a quarterly fall of 0.05%, while the one born abroad grew 1.47%. And how was birth? Waiting for the definitive and updated data, for the moment the brushstrokes that the INE leaves are not especially good. Birth in Spain falls or in the best case stagnates with a slight growth. And that as long as we talk about short -term comparisons. If we expand the focus and compare the current number of births with which Spain registered decades ago, in the Baby Boom, The difference is abysmal. The provisional estimates of the INE show that between January and November 2024 some were recorded in the whole of Spain 296,100 birthsmore or less like the previous year (+0.8%). If we go to the closed data of 2023 we verify that during that year they were born in Spain 320,656 babies2.6% less than in 2022 and far from the 425,700 that the INE counted only a decade before. Year Total births Resident population (January 1) 1975 669,378 35,569,375 1980 571.018 37,346,940 1985 456,298 38,407,829 1990 401,425 38,853,227 1995 363,469 39,639,726 2000 397,632 40,470,182 2005 466,371 43,296,335 2010 486,575 46,486,621 2015 420,290 46,449,565 2020 341,315 47,332,614 2023 320,656 48,085,361 A percentage: 50%. The above are annual or monthly comparative. The most interesting readings are obtained by opening the focus, as the Professor of Human Geography Rafael Puyol has done in An article Posted in The conversation. It basically exposes two figures: if during the best years of the Baby Boom (In demographic terms), there for 50, 60 and the first half of the 70s, they were born in Spain between 650,000 and 660,000 babies, now that figure has been cut in half. Since 2017 It does not reach 400,000. With two concrete figures the jump is better appreciated. In 1960 they were registered in Spain 663,375 births. In 2023 were 320,656. In summary: a collapse of more than 50% in a matter of a few decades, a devastating percentage that for Puyol is basically explained by a combination of economic and social factors. Which is it?Among others the changes in the family model and the hierarchy of values, education and The incorporation From women to the labor market. A trend, three indicators. Beyond raw birth data, The expert animates to look at three key demographic indicators. The first is fertility, the “average number of children per woman of proper age.” In Spain that mean remains below The 2.1 barrier which are considered necessary for generational renewal since the 80s. Moreover, in 2023 it was 1.12. The second data is the collapse of the number of women with ages in the strip that are usually associated with motherhood, between 25 and 39 years. After making accounts Puyol warns that so far from the century the number of women with that profile in Spain has fallen into more than 700,000. “Potential mothers are increasingly scarce,” warns. The third factor is that we have children every time. In fact the number of lighting between Mothers of 40 or more years It has shot 20% in a decade. Why is it important? Because birth evolution is not just a statistical curiosity or a problem for demographers. At a higher volume of births, the population pyramid is widen more by the base and less is the aging of a country, which has implications at a social, labor and of course for Public coffers. The clearest example is the sustainability of pension system. It is not an exclusive problem from Spain. Something similar occurs in other nations, both from the rest of Europe and from countries and Japan, South Korea either Even Chinathat also faces the challenge of aging.

China is a sleeping giant of AI and has many companies competing with each other

by

It seems that US companies and startups are the great competitors of the AI ​​segment, but Chinese companies are demonstrating that rivalry is also formidable. He Deepseek impact Of course it has been noticed especially there. And if not, tell Baidu. Ernie was closed and paid. Considered “La Google China”, Baidu was one of the first to launch its own chatbot. Ernie launched In March 2023 and in September I was already available to All audiences. However, the company’s approach was always clear: his generative chatbot was closed, and was paid. But it will soon be free. This week those responsible for Baidu have announced two important changes in their strategy. To start, Baidu will have a free version As of April 1which will allow access to the company’s LLMs. The company had been trying to monetize the service for 17 months, which in China had a monthly price of 49.90 yuan (6.56 euros). And besides, Open Source. But it is also that the company has confirmed that the next generation of its LLM Ernie will use an Open Source license on June 30. It is a turn of the events, because as we have commented from the beginning Baidu adopted a model and license owned for its chatbot. Even Openai seems consider a similar movement. Deepseek changes everything. The reason for these strategy changes is probably due to what has happened with Deepseekthe Chinese startup that launched Deepseek v3 in November and After Deepseek R1 In January. These models were not only free, they were also Open Source, which triggered their popularity by demonstrating that they were really competitive even when comparing them with the best LLM of their competitors in the United States. There, by the way, Depseek’s impact has also been formidable: several of those US rivals have already offered their reasoning models free of charge. Fierce competition in China. Baidu’s decision shows how in China there is also a particular war to lead in AI. Alibaba, without going any further, has just presented The promising Qwen2.5-Maxand Bytedance, who does not conform to Tiktok, is beginning to become a surprising power in the. Other companies such as Tencent or Startups such as MoNshot and O1.AI They are also in that fight, however much their models have to be very socialists. The important thing is that they use you. Baidu seems to recognize that in this battle one of the keys is to achieve some popularity. According to Reuters The most successful chatbot in China is currently Doubao (Bytedance) with 78.6 million monthly users. Deepseek is the second with 33.7 million while Ernie has only 13 million. Ernie 4.5 will arrive soon, but what about the reasoning? In Baidu they currently have ERNIE 4.0, which competes with GPT-4, but will soon launch Ernie 4.5, which will be precisely the one that adopts that license Open Source. What does not seem to have a model of reasoning as Deepseek R1, something surprising again considering that Baidu is a giant with many more resources. One that yes, will surely be moving card so as not to let this juicy market escape. Image | Baidu In Xataka | Deepseek has given the starting gun in the race for a cheaper AI.

Barcelona is the city of Spain with more motorcycles. Now the Generalitat considers limiting its circulation

by

Spain has a mobile park of 4,162,850 motorcycles. Of these, 22.8% are registered in Catalonia. In total, there are 947,895 motorcycles that circulate through the streets of the Autonomous Community, according to Statistics Institute of Catalonia. The figure shows the enormous weight that the motorcycle represents In Catalonia. No other vehicle is so popular if compared to the total cars volume of the country. While motorcycles, as we said, exceed 20%, Catalonia has 13.8% of cars registered. Buses (14.5%) and vans and trucks (14.1%) are also far from the previous figure. Of the almost million motorcycles that Catalonia has registered, 713,033 of them are counted in the province of Barcelona. Anyone who walks through the city can verify that it is a boiler of two -wheeled vehicles. According to RACC data of 2022in the city about 450,000 motorcycle displacements occur every day. AND Already in 2019 it was alert of the difficulties that the city had to park all two -wheeled vehicles that circulate through its streets. For all of the above, the IMPULSE PLAN TO THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE 2025-2030 presented by the Generalitat de Catalunya herself in which a Reduction of combustion motorcycles with measures that facilitate their limitations. A plan that has been sold as the prohibition of motorcycles with combustion engines from 2030 (although this is not true) and that has raised blisters in the world of motorcycle who are considered discriminated against in front of any other type of vehicle. What happened? A controversial plan Presented by the president of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Salvador Illa, and collected on the official website of the agency, the IMPULSE PLAN TO THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE 2025-2030 It has been presented as the master lines to be followed in the coming years to transform the Catalan mobile park and gradually clean the pollutant emissions of the same. In that plan we can read initiatives such as TRIPPLY the penetration of electric vehicles In Catalonia to be at the middle levels of Europe, bend the number of public loaders (especially the rapids) and electrify 90% d the fleet of the Generalitat of Catalonia. In the program, which has five key points of action, there is no talk at any time to remove vehicles from the circulation or references to the low emissions areas of the Catalan cities and their restrictions by environmental label. Tours, buses, trucks or vans are completely omitted in the aforementioned plan. However, there is a clearly indicated type of vehicle: motorcycles. Literally, the plan includes in its second point that it will work on the following: “Promotion of the gradual limitation of combustion motorcycle. Parallel to the implementation of gradual restrictions on combustion motorcycles with environmental labels B and C, an industrial transition program will be established to promote the production, distribution and repair of electric motorcycles Although from some media and on social networks it can be read that Catalonia will prohibit combustion motorcycles from 2030, the truth is that this is not true. There is no established date in which it is specified that these vehicles will not be able to circulate through the streets. However, the warning that “the gradual limitation of combustion motorcycle” will be promoted, it gives an idea that the intentions of the Generalitat of Catalonia is to end motorcycles with environmental labeling B and C. Of course, Specifies that the intention is to promote the sale of motorcycles with cleaner labeling. The measure is controversial because, as they point out from Anesdor (National Association of Companies of the Sector Two Wheels), in the program No mention is made to other types of vehicles such as cars, buses, vans or trucks. That despite the fact that motorcycles are not contemplated in the prohibition of combustion engines for vehicles that are still going (we will see if definitively) in the European Union from 2035. They also emphasize that, at the moment, 58.1% of the motorcycles circulating in Spain have environmental labeling C. is another of the label paradoxes designed by the DGT. Collect in The confidential that the average data of Nox emissions of a Euro 5 motorcycle (DGT tag) reach 0.0156 gr/km. However, they point out in the digital medium, the environmental labeling is controversial. A Euro 6 car emits, average 0.3137 gr/km of Nox. That is, they have the same sticker despite having contaminated much more. That if they do not have Soft hybridization that has a minimum impact on the accounts but automatically delivers the DGT echo label. They also have Echo more polluting vehicles that the aforementioned motorcycles such as the CNG and LPG (0.0350 gr/km of NOX on average). Only gasoline hybrids They reflect better data but the difference is minimal (0.0133 gr/km of Nox). That is, no one has forbidden that motorcycles with combustion engines can circulate in Catalonia but the intention of the Generalitat is to promote those actions that limit their movements and press so that consumers jump to electric vehicles.

With the debate about the Up of the minimum interprofessional salary Still hot, a recent study reveals that most employees in Spain feel inframing with respect to Your professional responsibilities. According to The data collected In the ‘Labor Market Guide 2025’ published by Hays, that discontent has grown with respect to 2023, despite the fact that SMI increases have improved the salary conditions of many employees. The problem is that average salaries. A ADECCO report It ensures that real average salaries in Spain, adjusted by inflation, have remained stagnant during the last thirty years. Dissatisfied employees. The study of the Human Resources consultant, prepared on a base of 5,600 companies and professionals in Spain, reveals that the Salary dissatisfaction It is still an important problem in the Spanish labor market. 65% of professionals feel that their salary does not correspond to the work they do. It is the same figure that was recorded in 2023, but represents a worsening of 5% compared to 2024, and 9% compared to 2021. Only 46% say they are satisfied with their salary (although I can consider it insufficient for their responsibilities). One of the factors that contribute the most to employees in their current salary is the complement of time flexibility associated with their position. Flexibility and teleworking as accessories. 54% of respondents prioritize time flexibility above other benefits, such as additional holidays or medical insurance with more coverage. In addition to flexibility, 63% of respondents highlight the good work environment as complementary factors to salary. 42% place teleworking as one of the important accessories to the salary. So much so that they would even renounce the 25% of your salary By teleworking. Christopher Dottie, regional general director of Hays in southern Europe, stood out in his report The importance of teleworking For talent retention “with the reduction of the maximum working day of 40 to 37.5 hours, whose application is still delayed, and the impulse of teleworking is put in the hands of professionals the opportunity to demonstrate their value in terms of production , being free to choose where and how to work. With one foot on the street. Salary dissatisfaction is one of the main arguments To change jobs. In 2025, the intention of changing jobs is stated for the dissatisfaction of not obtaining adequate salary or working conditions. 69% of respondents claim to find themselves in an active search situation of a job. This data significantly improves with respect to 2024 that registered 70% of employees willing to leave your job For one with better conditions. However, it remains above 63% that was recorded in 2023. SALARIAL ASCOME EXPECTATION. Despite the situation of salary dissatisfaction that portray Hays’s data, the salary perspectives By 2025 that draws this report are optimistic. 48% of the professionals interviewed believe that their annual salary will increase above 5%, while 17% think it will do it between 2.5 and 4.9%. Less optimistic are the companies that have participated, 27% bet on rank increases of 2.5% and 4.9%, followed by which, with 26%, they think they will remain or, at most, they will increase below 2.4% (24%). Source: “Labor Market Guide 2025”. Hays Dottie says that 2024 has been a decisive year in the fight against job precariousness, but has also meant an additional economic effort for companies. “With the recent increase in the minimum interprofessional salary (SMI) and the resolutions of the Labor Reform of 2021, there is talk of a certain improvement of labor precariousness. Although these measures positively impact the well -being of many professionals, they at the same time important important Challenges for Spanish business fabric, which must be adjusted in its cost structures. “ In Xataka | Ask for a salary increase is a negotiation art: as in any battle, you have to be prepared with a strategy Image | Unspash (Jakub żerdzicki, Cemrecan Yurtman)

As in any battle, you have to be prepared with a strategy

Ask for a salary increase is one of the most tense moments for employees, especially in Latin culture, where salary negotiation It is almost a taboo. However, it is a moment that, sooner or earlierall professionals face throughout their career regardless of WHAT IS YOUR POSITION. Coaling the moment correctly, and the attitude with which that request is addressed, is a important part for your success. To ask for an increase, look at the calendar According to Nicola Weatherhead, vice president of people’s operations and talent acquisition at The Stepstone Group, in An interview For the British Dailymaila petition for salary improvement can never be the result of improvisation. The first step is to choose the right time for both the person in charge of human resources, and for the company. For example, if you have evidence that the company A bad financial moment passesit is less likely to have Ability to increase your salary. Instead, a good moment can be just after making a positive economic balance public. On the other hand, regardless of the financial health of the company, it is also important to choose well the date on which the increase is proposed. For example, many companies prepare their annual budgets at the end of the year, and close at the beginning of the year. Therefore, the first months of the year may not be the best to request a salary increase because the budget items are already assigned. On the other hand, the perfect moment to request it will be just before the company begins to prepare those budgets for next year. In this way, your request may be taken into account and included in the accounts of the following year. Appointment to talk about your salary From the indeed labor platform, They point How important as choosing the right time for the company, is to choose it to speak with the head of human resources that manages it. Have one Conversation about your salary next to the coffee machine It is not the best of ideas, so the ideal is to set an appointment enough to ensure that whoever should collect your request is paying all their attention to a quiet and private environment. During that meeting, he speaks safely and assertively, but avoids aggressive or too shy. A balanced tone It generates empathy and facilitates establishing open and respectful negotiation. Companies may have quarterly or annual evaluation programs, and that can also be a good time to address the salary increase, since your performance data will be on the table to endorse it. That takes us to the next point. Do not compare yourself, let your work speak “Prepare a detailed summary of what you have achieved during the last year and what you plan to contribute to the future,” said Weatherhead. Take this List with your achievements It allows you to show, objectively and based on results, the worth of your work and the added value you contribute to the company. It mentions concrete figures, such as increases in sales or improvements in operational efficiency, if you have led new projects or everything that is relevant in your position or that has contributed to the team. The personal economic situation should never be the reason that justifies the request for salary increase. One of the most frequent errors is compare with other colleagueseven with those with similar tasks. Each employee fulfills their function and their metrics can be oriented to different objectives, although similar functions are apparently done. “In addition, refrain from making demands or ultimatums, since this can tighten your relationship with your employer,” says the expert. The last thing you want is to be a focus of problems for those who must manage their salary increase. On the other hand, involve a supervisor to validate your work, it is a good strategy since it is someone whose objective is precisely to report your performance. This confirmation of your results will have more weight than your statements when considering a salary increase. “They will need evidence and, if you have a high -ranking manager in the company to help you defend your position, the bosses will be convinced much more easily among them,” says Weatherhead. Investigate and ask accordingly Another important aspect is not to leave in the air the percentage of salary increase that you have in mind. Therefore, it is convenient to make a previous investigation of the average salary of your position in the sector, in your region and in the type of companysince wages vary depending on these factors. Knowing that data will allow you to present A reasonable proposal. Use tools such as salary comparators, Consult colleagues or review job offers similar to your profile and knowledge to obtain An adequate salary range. Avoid asking for an exact amountit is more appropriate to talk about salary ranges or increase percentages. That gives margin to negotiate and shows flexibility on your part. For example, you can say: “I have investigated and I think that an increase within the range of X A and would be fair considering my responsibilities and performance within the team.” A negative is not a defeat One of the communication strategies in this type of negotiation is not to propose the increase as a question of whether or not. If you do, the easiest thing for the company is to stand in the No. Instead, you can raise it as a goal to achieveIn that way, even if at that time you receive a negative, a schedule is drawn for a new request in the future. In an assertive and calm way, he asks the person in charge of what objectives and improvements he considers to achieve to obtain that increase in the future. That not only denotes a positive attitude of growth, but also highlights the commitment to the company. In fact, even in case of obtaining a salary increase, it may be below your initial expectations. Knowing that roadmap can serve … Read more
