    I just walked in to our dept manager’s office and made the case of why they should move me to another position and pay me an extra 15k per year. i think it went well, he said he would talk to my bosses about it and asked what my pay requirement was and then thanked me at the end for walking in and talking to him.

    • right on man. A few weeks ago I did something similar to my boss. I had another offer on the table, it was better, and we talked things through...kona
    • ... 2 days later I got a large raise to stay. He appreciated my candor and we're cruising along better than ever.kona
    • Yeah especially since this new position requires more corporate communication. He was glad to see that I have the balls to tell it how it is.HijoDMaite

    • Nice. Hope it works out. I asked for a 15k raise, they only gave me 10.desmo
    • I just tried that and got laughed out out my office. I forgot I'm both my own boss and my own underling and shit at both.detritus
    • Damn, I'm my own boss too, never thought about giving myself a raise. Fucking genius.
