Almost 2 years and still no raise. What would you do? Hey Everyone, I’ve been with this company for almost 2 years (approaching 2 years in the Summer).

Should I raise my prices? A couple of things have happened recently that make me think there’s a higher margin I can get for my products.

Now that I’m moving over to Shopify and have started competitor research on standalone …

Should I Ask for a Raise? If so, How? I’m in my late 40s and my career path has been… unconventional, to say the least. I started as a teacher, but that didn’t stick. In my 30s, I went back to school to pursue paralegal studies, which I loved, and worked in that field for about 6-7 years. Unfortunately, I was terminated from most of those jobs and eventually had to file for disabili…

When a raise isn’t worth it Just a reminder to not take the salary/hourly wage for a new job at face value. I was recently offered a job with an apparent $15k increase in pay, but after factoring the commute costs (60¢/mi), more expensive benefits, and lack of 401k (tax implications +employer match) my total compensation would decrease more than $5k at the new job. A raise…

Also I just learned the other RN is having health trouble and won’t be working full …

The 13/hr raise would be contingent on me switching from a W-2 employee status to being paid through my own LLC. I would stay as a W-2 employee with the $6 per hour raise. I work as a remote project manager for a digital marketing company in the healthcare recruiting field. I currently make $25 per hour + 10% of clients’ monthly retainers that …

When I brought this up to our office manager last year she said we could write a letter to request a “wage review”. One thing they mentioned when writing the letter is not to write that we deserve a raise due to the…
