How to Ask For, And Get, The Raise You Deserve
57% of employees have never asked for a raise, according to a recent PayScale survey.
We avoid the subject entirely for three main reasons: 1) talking about money is uncomfortable, 2) we don’t want to come off as pushy, and 3) we’re worried about repercussions.
But what if asking for a raise was less risky?
