[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I don't think a raise is given, it is earned. If you have to ask for a raise you don't deserve it.[/b] If you think you are worth $25/hr (hint: you aren't) then quit and go pursue that. Don't try to pressure or guilt your current, non wealthy family into stretching their budget to support your fantasies.[/quote]

I disagree. I had a nanny job (first time parents) and I knew they were extremely happy with me, they had a little celebration with my for my one year anniversary with them - dinner, my favorite vegan cake, etc. One year passed and they still paid me the same.
In all my previous jobs I got $1 raise every year, so one day I just sat down with them and asked. They told me they never even thought about it. And they said they asked for raises at their jobs all the time and they were glad I did. I got the raise that same day and then another one the following year.[/quote]

This. Bosses rarely spontaneously decide to pay you more. Why would they? Even if you do a fabulous job, they'd rather it be at $18/hour than $19. However a reasonable boss, in the position to do so, will recognize a job well done when an employee approaches them on the issue. [/quote]
