Last week I asked for a raise. I have never done that before. I asked for way more than I thought I would get. Anyways, they gave me a little less than what I asked for, but they did give it to me! I was really surprised, and glad I didn’t have to job hop.
Yeah, it looks like I’m going to have to start doing that. My company gives annual cost of living increases, but they’re barely above the official inflation numbers (and therefore considerably below the actual cost of living). As I get better at my job, I should be making more money, not knocking my performance review out of the park to get the same amount at best.
