Once I asked my boss for a raise, and he told me; not only I will give you a raise. I will give you 4 extra bonuses a year, an extra paid time vacation week, extra holidays, and even a company car. I asked my boss if that was a joke, and he replied, "you started it"

@@ceecee8757 Yes I couldn't believe how greedy they would get. They didn't even have to give me a ton more like $2 - $3K.

You are worth exactly what someone is willing to pay you. Frame it as, what would it cost to replace you? Including salary and costs of training a new person. You also need to ask, out loud, what salary you want.
I have an idea. Go looking for another that pays you more. Once you get an offer, arrange a meeting with your boss and ask for a raise. If the boss says yes, and you are satisfied and want to stay there, great! But if the boss says no, by all means, provide them with your resignation and two weeks of advance notice. Period.
I've negotiated an increase 3 times and have been successful all three times. And I'm currently in the midst of negotiating another one. It does happen and it can be done. And I've worked in nonprofits where "there's no money". If you're a slacker that just coast by, you may not want to ask for one 😂. But Dave is right. I had to show them my value, everything I've done, and tell them the market value of my position.
@@avapilsen experience and all you’ve been picking up for the slackers. Also, sometimes you could have job offerings that say I can offer you X amount of money. You can use that as leverage. Any accreditations, certifications, and all other stuff like that.
@@JesseKinnamon And not only that, but companies probably want what's cost-effective for them. If you're satisfied with your $20 pay, and it works for you and them and no one sees a necessity to pay you an extra few bucks an hour, then why would they negotiate higher pay for you and less funds for their business or themselves?
my job under pays me and expects us to go above and beyond . When someone goes on vacation I step up and take as much as overtime as possible . My co-workers says we should be making $20 - $25 . Management set a goal for us to do in 3 weeks and we did it in 2 weeks .
Apply for similar jobs, get an offer, take that offer to your boss. If they don't match then go take that job you interviewed for but don't quit until you have the job
Haven't had a salary increase in 3 years. Ive asked for a raise, they ask what I've done to deserve so I explain and then they say that I've been "capped".
Viviana Fechner Either they don’t value your position that much and it truly is capped, or they want you to leave but don’t want to fire you. Either way, if you aren’t moving forward with a raise and opportunity, it’s time to go.
I tell you...people in the south (which I am too) don’t realize how people making 70 k in Boston are not really making much cause of living expenses. That place is crazy expensive and I’d rather live in GA and make 30k than live there making 70.
Same! Ive moved all around the country (born in the northeast) but i will always always always live in the south. People are less stressed down here. It's just nicer to live in a world where people can afford their sh*t.
Can agree, except I'm from North Dakota. Living expenses here are quite low, yet people don't realize that making 90k a year here is like 160k+ in places like boston. It's quite funny, I'm 15 and I realize this yet some adults don't .-.
The thing that I always hear is that women don’t ask, so we are underpaid. I recently moved to NV from CA for school where the wages are much lower. I got a promotion because I am now a pharmacist intern rather than a pharmacy technician. Even with the promotion, because wages are much lower, I was getting a $5.75/hr pay decrease. I was shocked and disappointed to see that, especially because there are now so many added responsibilities. So I had to levelheadedly talk to the manager about how much I was making in CA, the added responsibilities and stress, my loyalty for the company, etc etc. The manager ended up maxing out my pay for the position and I’m making way more than other interns I know. I guess my point is that if you don’t ask, you won’t receive. You need to be respectful and show loyalty and gratitude for the position, you also need to provide evidence that you’re worth it. And again, men are more likely to ask so we women need to step up and start asking. It worked for me and I genuinely wasn’t expecting it to.
@EJ Everlast I think that is a very generalized statement. We’re probably not as good at construction work or heavy lifting, but you shouldn’t really say something so universally offensive. That’s an outdated mindset.
I believe it's not just your experience, people from my family have seen this as well. The technology industry however, is a very good area to be able to get raises and promoted.
I wanna start out by saying I’m a huge Dave Ramsey fan. However, I must say, I don’t feel like he did the best job on this particular subject. If you are female as the caller is, it’s a proven fact that females rarely ask for raises and already tend to fear they will come across as being greedy or thinking too highly of themselves. I myself am the same way. But I do know my worth, and I’ve done my research. Of course a humble attitude is always important but that does not mean you should make yourself feel less valuable or that you have to “prove yourself” when you know your manager sees your hard work and just hasn’t rewarded you for it yet. If they ask for examples, of course give them! If you know you have proven yourself in your position and want a raise, go in there with confidence and respectfulness. Tell them you enjoy your job and you’re committed to sticking with the company rather than trying to find somewhere else that would pay you higher. However, you need to be fairly compensated and then show what value that fair compensation would be.
I got a raise after five months granted only 50 cents but scheduled to get another one in August or September. I will take a dollar a year plus over time . I do security my goal which is two or three years down the road Assests Protection Manager.
I requested a raise, had a lot of great documentation for backup, corporate rules say no raise for you due to time in position. (Been at company for 10 years, position changes all the time) :/ Actively looking for better offers.
I love Dave's answer, if you look in reddit like personal finance all they kept telling users are like, oh the worker used to get paid that much, or some individual worker x and y get paid more, then you should get a raise, which is bullcrap. Dave's answer is much better since it's way more well rounded and it's a much better way to ask for a raise.
I'm a college student working in the kitchen at Chick-Fil-A. I've been given two raises but the raises were given to everyone in the kitchen at the same time. However, there are two kitchen workers that have 2 years experience and make at least $11/ hour (I know this for sure but do not know the exact amount), but I only make $9.25/hr with 1 year of experience. If one of them quit, I could take on their role very quickly and the kitchen would barely feel a difference. I have been given authority to call the shots when those 2 people are not around. I have been in the most difficult positions in the kitchen when our store broke its personal record for cars in and out of the drive-thru MULTIPLE times so I have proved to be reliable when the pressure is on. Do I ask for a raise? I am the 3rd best person in the kitchen and make AT LEAST $2/hr less than the two best guys even though I could replace them if need be.
Yes, ask for it. But make sure you say how much you like to work in that place in advance. And I wouldn't mention how much the others are getting payed, that is not your problem. Focus more on how you have proven you can handle the pressure, and how you actually care about the business. A personal advice to you. Don't fool yourself thinking that this is not a risk. It is a risk, and make sure your are ok with it mentally(I watch some motivational videos all day in advance.) Because if we are not willing to take risks to get more out of life, so what we get is exactly what we deserve. And you can bet your money this is exactly how your boss thinks.
If you like the place go for it, if you just want extra money pizza delivery tips are great depending on the delivery area and how reliable your car is

Ignore FreeBandzMilt comment it's plain dumb. Search what your market value is worth on sites like Glassdoor or Payscale. See what you should be making and what others are making, and make your offer based off that.
i believe that you should not ask for a raise because that can get you a NO for an answer. The correct question is what do I need to do to get a 10 percent raise? That will get you a lot of information, for one the work needed to get a 10 percent raise, you will also get to know what the workload required is and if its fair or not, and thirdly you will know what the company thinks of you. They might raise you immediately because you asked or they might say sorry, you will never get a raise cause you are already overpaid...and then you know NOW is the time to leave.
I'd be happy to get COL raises, my employer (county government) could care less about us, reason why I am cash flowing college, so I can tell them to shove it within the next year.
