Working hard, being punctual, never calling in sick, being respectful are all things a company is already paying you for. I know shocking. These are not qualities for raises, they are expected of you. What matters is your impact to the company and helping them make money. Build your talking points around the value you add to the company and it reaching its goal (make money). Also keep in mind, salary is only one point in compensation. Things like more vacation time, better benefits, pension/401K contributions, stock options, educational funds, having them pay for an annual conference(s) you want to attend. But much of this depends on the company you are working for.
- d23 8y ago> never calling in sick Seriously?
- eindiran 8y agoI agree with all the other points in your first sentence, but your company should not expect you to never call in sick. You get sick days for a reason.
- lojack 8y agoThe only thing worse than an employee calling in sick is an employee not calling in sick when they are sick. Nothing good is going to come of doing a half assed job and infecting the rest of the office.
- dangerboysteve 8y agoI'm not advocating no sicks days. They are a good thing and the last thing I want is a sick person coming into the office and infecting others. The point I was making is that "ideally" this is what is expected.
- redmaple 8y ago> never calling in sick really ?!
- ransom1538 8y ago"Build your talking points around the value you add to the company and it reaching its goal (make money)." Agreed. Quit and go into sales. Good luck spinning how edits on a bootstrap theme made money.
- jimbokun 8y agoIf you have corresponding A/B testing, showing the value of "edits on a bootstrap theme" should be pretty straightforward.
