Re: Asking for a raise?

[(Anonymous)]

I worked 11 years for one company as one of the top employees who never had a less than excellent review, and in that time (which included a "raise" for taking away personal days) my salary went up about $2.50/hour. $1 an hour is huge. Especially if you fairly recently (which I consider a year ago to be) already got a huge raise. (Unless, of course, you make like $40/hour, so the percentage increase is less, which I doubt.)

Does your job have any policy on raises? Mine offered 1% a year, 2% a year if you did really well. And one year they said costs had gone up too much and they couldn't give anyone a raise. There really wasn't much negotiating with that. If your work has such a policy it can be awkward and possibly risky to ask for a raise. The questions the other anon asked are great to go through before you think it might be a good idea to ask.

With that being said, I would say to do your homework. If you've had good reviews, collect them. If you've completed successful projects, document them and your input into them. Document times you did above and beyond what was asked of you. If you have an upcoming project that will require a lot of work, mention what you are doing on it. Have a compelling case as to why you are so great that you deserve more. And even with that, I honestly would just ask for a raise, not specifically $1 more. As I think it would be better to leave that up to them rather than risk looking greedy. Unless you are sure there will not be negative repercussions and/or that you can easily find another job if it blows up in your face.
