I had to ask for it.

Unless there's some sort of financial crisis, most people depend on an annual raise. But sadly, most employers will try to avoid discussing it.

Simply tell them you'd like a sit down meeting for a performance review. If my employers aren't super happy with my work, I'm taking a new job with better compensation.

Both.

Should I expect a raise or ask for a raise after being with the family for a year?
