How to get a raise
It made me
Relieved
 "It was frustrating waiting for my boss to make time for me, but it the end I achieved my goal and that made it worthwhile."
How I did it: I asked my boss in January if I could work full time and take on more responsibility, and he took that to mean I wanted more money, which was correct. He said we'd see how I do with my new tasks and then talk money in two months. In March I reminded him about the review repeatedly, until we had one in April. I was getting very aggravated with how many times he put it off, but eventually we had the review, he asked me how much I wanted, I aimed slightly high, and he gave me slightly less than I wanted. Lessons & tips: Be patient but assertive and persistent. Know how good you are and have a number in mind. Work hard and be prepared to tell your boss what a good job you're doing and why you're valuable.

More "How I Did It" stories
It made me
How I did it: I waited until I had gained enough responsibilities and shown that I could handle them all, and then I wrote an e-mail telling my boss I would like to talk with him about a raise when it was a good time for him. So, we talked about it over lunch one day. I aimed high, asked for more than I thought I'd actually get, and still got a pretty decent raise. Read how I did it…

My boss delays and delays and delays, but we finally had that “employee review” I was waiting for. I wanted a $2/hr raise, asked for $3, and got $1.50. Not bad. It could definitely be worse. It took three and a half months from when I first asked.
I’m pretty proud of myself for asking for the raise, and for taking on more responsibility to get it. Unfortunately, with the new health benefits, (which will cost me $100/month), I won’t actually be taking home that much more per month. But at least now I can go to the dentist if I want to. Maybe I should make that one of my goals…

Ok, so I have been given more responsibility at work, but my boss says we’ll see in a month or two how well I’m doing, and then have a review, at which we’ll talk money. So no raise quite yet, but it’s likely in the next few months.

I asked my boss yesterday when my 90-day review will be… since it’s over a month past due. I made a decision that if I don’t get a raise I am going to get another job because I know that I am worth more than what I make.

My husband is changing career paths, and he’s the big money earner in our home, so if he isn’t earning much for a while, we’ll be pretty screwed if I don’t start earning more! I’m going to ask for more responsibility and more money when my boss gets back from a trip next week. Wish me luck!

It’s very easy to be materialistic.
Alas, I’m terrible at sticking up for myself. It’s starting to affect my work environment, and I feel like a raise is something I have earned through my personal work ethic. This goal is about that.
