'Lazy girl strategy' | 'Worst' worker shares tips on getting pay rise in TikTok video - a lesson for HR?

In a TikTok video, a worker outlines how she received a $40,000 (£31,000) pay rise through enacting what she calls the ‘lazy girl strategy’.

“I was probably one of the literal worst employees of all time, but I still got a $40,000 pay bump because I did this one thing right” says the TikToker known as ‘yourtechgirly’ on the video sharing platform.

“Anytime anyone gave me a task to do, or if I did anything on my own, I would document everything. I was so lazy; it was just a bulleted list of any project I’d ever done.

“Even if I was sending a slack message that took more than five minutes, I would screenshot it and put it on this page.”
