【Sea River Night Talk】How to let your boss know you want a raise

You need to take the initiative to talk to your boss; relying on them to have a change of heart is basically nonsense.

That’s basically the idea

First of all, one must have the necessary capabilities and strive for excellence in one’s work before being able to discuss things with the boss; that’s how I got where I am as well

Asking the boss for a raise is probably the worst option. This request cannot be made unless resignation is used as a bargaining chip. The best way to ask the boss for a raise is to demonstrate the value of your skills in order to seek a promotion. A promotion is more acceptable to bosses than a raise.

It’s still better to give the boss the feeling that it’s worth the price

Being your own boss is the best way

Have someone else talk to the boss; maybe you’re looking for a more suitable job

Salary increases are a matter that concerns both an individual and a group; a company that is operating properly should have a systematic salary increase system. There are several common approaches: one is promotion (including promotions in terms of position as well as in terms of skills and professional titles); the second is having criteria for increasing salaries based on length of service; and the third is providing additional allowances for obtaining relevant certificates. Fourth, the company adjusted the salary and bonus systems of relevant departments. Fifth is the salary review organized by the company; therefore, if you want to ask your boss for a raise, you need to have a good reason – such as a promotion or an additional title. A raise without a valid reason generally won’t be approved, and if the boss approves it arbitrarily, it can lead to negative consequences
