You def ...Hey, I'd give you a raise if I could. You def need one but like you, I wouldnt' even know where to begin to ask.<br /><br />All I can suggest is you point out your positives without bragging, don't mention anyone who doesn't help and maybe tell them you enjoy the challenge (not too much though or they might pile on more work lol).<br /><br />GOod luck babe, hope you manage to get that raise. Sounds like the job is a keeper; it would be nice if they treated you like a keeper in return.<br /><br />xxLeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745608296468827669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662316995305232662.post-26016407656111194452016-08-06T17:18:09.348-07:002016-08-06T17:18:09.348-07:00Oh my good lord, I've been where you are so of...Oh my good lord, I've been where you are so often! Women in particular are never taught how to ask for raises, nor how to deal with the fallout either way.<br /><br />I want to offer all sorts of (unsolicited) advice on how to approach this, depending on your relationship with whomever would be in charge of making the actual decision over the raise. However, it all boils down to this: what would you have to loose if you ask and they say no? After all, if you don't ask, you would still be paid the same, and you would stay, correct?<br /><br />Whatever you decide, I hope you come to terms with it, so you stop beating yourself up over it.<br /><br />Many hugs, Lori.aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.com
