So you’re excelling at your job, even in this tough economy and feel you deserve more money or a better title, or more people under you, or something of substance right!?!? Well for those of you who think it’s too scary to ask for a raise during these tough economic times, here’s an article from Annie Fisher of Fortune.com about how to ask for a raise, even if you wanted to tomorrow. I love this article because it’s about knowing when you deserve compensation for doing a great job. I personally believe in times like this, when someone is doing a great job with all these pressures on them, that it’s more deserving. Just make sure you have numbers or something you can show to upper management on why you deserve a raise. Here’s the article, thanks!
