Reminder: There Are Right & Wrong Ways To Ask For A Raise

Is your company struggling? Is your boss stressing about year-end budgets? Not a good time to ask for a raise.

HR Dave’s recent post about raise-asking etiquette is a good reminder for anyone who feels underpaid about the right way to do it.

First tip: remember you’re not alone. “Everyone wants a raise. You’re about as unique in this desire as you are in liking cake.”

Second tip: never mention that you “need” a raise, that your coworker is getting paid more, or even how long you’ve been there.
