| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01  | I have been working at the same university for over two years, recently I saw an ad in a trade newspaper advertising an assistant position at the college across the street for double my income plus benefits! I do not wish to leave my current position, as I enjoy the work area and feel that I am helping to build a great program, however, I now feel that I am being a rube for the school. Any ideas on how I get a raise?  "Don't you know? A clown can get away with Murder!" -John Wayne Gacy Grabmyjunk in another dimension | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00 | OK. Step 1. Write down EVERYTHING you have acomplished for your company over the last year. Make it into a one page summary. Step 2. Sit down with your boss. Be honest. Tell them you are not happy with your current pay and are thinking of leaving. This usually scares the shit out of them and they offer you something before the day is over. Step 3. If they give the impression that they think they can get along without you, give them the summary you created in step one. Step 4. If you still haven't been given a raise interview with the competition until you get a job offer. Step 5. Tell your boss about the offer. Either he'll make a counter offer or wish you luck in your new job. Either way, you know where you stand. Step 6. IF you got a counter-offer then its time to decide. Is the counter offer you just got legitimate, or are they just going to keep you around for a few months until they can teach someone else your job and fire you? Safest bet at this time is to take the other offer. Hope this helps.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | I have yet to deny a legitimate raise for an employee that has been able to demonstrate specific contibutions that they have made to the bottom line. If you are able to demonstrate that you consistantly contribute to profitability or cost avoidance, document it and present it. If you go in with, the place across the street is paying X, I would wish you all the best in applying down the street and send you on your way. Most employees think increases are automatic. In todays corporate environment, nothing is further from the truth. Good Luck.  o&aswallow Recognized His Destiny Early.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Find a nice big pile of dog shit and roll around in it. Then go into your boss' office and rub your stinky self all over his leather couches. Refuse to leave until he gives you a 50% raise. Then squat over his desk and drop a hot lunch on his computer keyboard. You'll never go unnoticed again.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Funny thing is that I am almost positive that they will be unable to find a replacement for me at the pay that they are giving me because I was such a nieve idiot "Don't you know?
