Sometimes bluffing can benefit you.
Who would not bluff if it starts benefiting you? Yes, you can make the most out of it now. You can bluff to advance your interests but only if you use it at the right time. Seems like this Reddit user knew how to bluff to get a good raise. So, this Reddit user is a hair stylist who works at a salon where she gets minimum wage. There was back to school haircut sale going on and she was excited to get her paycheck as she was expecting it to be big but turned out she got less salary.
She was pissed the next day. It was her turn to put up the sales banner. As she was putting it up, a naughty yet petty revenge idea came into her mind and she knew exactly how to execute it. She told her coworker that she is happy that it was her last time putting up this banner. The coworker asked why it would be her last time. OP told her that she has got a better job opportunity and that she is planning to tell no one and join the new job. OP told her not to tell anyone but her coworker spread it like a rumor. Scroll down to read how OP got the raise.
