[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ask (and have received) a raise every year on my anniversary.  Usually $1 an hour but in my current job I asked for and received $2 an hour increase.  I've never waited to see if my employer offered.  [/quote]

Horrible. I'd fire you on the spot if you asked for $2 an hour bump. If you were hired at and ok with $12 an hour for two years why would I ever feel inclined to bump it to $14??[/quote]

You're not a professional anything, are you? In the real world employees ask for raises and are approved or denied, not fired for the request.

And being a nanny isn't a normal job. Nannies are paid well from the start, not gouged with minimum wage starting salaries. In the corporate world as you get raises you get more duties, nannies do not. Their job becomes easier as the child ages and they become easier to replace, not harder. If nannies want to start out at $8.50 an hour and get yearly raises then that is fine. But to start out making double digits for babysitting and then demand more is ridiculous.[/quote]
