I stumbled upon a Reddit post today, where the commenter stated that he’s just making $1.5 per hour more than a new hire. We often wonder if we Are making too little from our jobs. Most of us feel we should get more pay, and it’s normal.

Are You Making Too Little From Your Job

In times when companies are running for more profit and more revenue the employees should also run for more pay. Problem is, often we don’t know if we are getting less salary. As a society, we are reluctant to discuss our earnings in front of others. The question that can change lives is left undiscussed. We feel embarrassed to disclose our salary.

Imagine you got through your dream interview and the offer letter has been extended to you. However, the salary offered is way below your expectations. What would you do?

Negotiate Salary

How difficult it is to resist temptation to buy a fringe item from a store, just to save $5? It’s hard, when you feel thirsty while you’re standing in front a cold soft drink. It’s hard to resist. For me particularly resisting a bar of snickers is too much. Well, the point is, you work too hard to save a few dollar. You deprive yourself to save such paltry amount. When it comes to asking for a raise, more than 70% of employees simply don’t ask for raise. They are afraid of making this simple request to their bosses. The best and smallest answer to getting raise is – ask you boss for a raise. 

How I got raise every year
