These companies do all that they can to hold their workers' wages down. > I have never ever asked for a raise in my life and I did pretty well for myself. Imagine how well you'd have done for yourself had you not been such a pushover. EDIT: I will also add that it has always been my philosophy that if you do not feel you deserve a raise, you're doing a shitty job.
