Ones power in a negotiation of this sort represents an amalgam of your value (present and future) to the company, their fear of your leaving, and the salary structure of the company. Don't forget that companies are run by human beings. If mgr feels he's being railroaded or extorted, he'll likely get mulish. Far better to make the case that a raise in both parties' interest. That's where "deserve" comes in. | |

Could be he is underpaid in terms of industry comparison, or he brings special value to the company. I've asked for raise before, both successfully and not. I'll go so far as to say that by definition you deserve the raise if you convince your company to cough it up. And if they say no, clearly they are just failing to see reality. ;D Anyway, I'm not considering COL increases or inflation here, that's a question for another day. | |
