Why You Must Ask for a Raise
You've worked hard, met expectations, and received glowing reviews from your superior. There's just one problem: You're missing that much-wanted year-end raise.
There are lots of reasons why companies don't give out raises. It's common to withhold pay increases when money is tight, so if your company had a bad year, your raise might disappear. Similarly, some companies only give raises to their top employees, so even if you did a good job, you may not make the cut.
But no matter your company's reasoning for not giving you the raise you deserve, it pays to make the case for one anyway. Here are just a few reasons why you shouldn't take your absent raise lying down.
