Don't expect or offer company loyalty: Companies may not reward loyalty, so focus on delivering value rather than expecting loyalty.Present your value exchange, not ask for a raise: Demonstrate the value you bring to the company and discuss a fair return on that value.Never make empty threats: Avoid making threats you don't intend to follow through on, as it can damage your relationship with the employer.Be well-prepared when asking for help: Document and understand the situation thoroughly before seeking assistance, ensuring clear and specific asks.
