I work as an office Manager in one of the offices in a Personal Injury Company; I am currently making $22.50 an hour salary; I’d like to ask for a raise because I do a lot of this company and have been working for them 5 years for them and stuck with them through many changes.

I hate to start over somewhere else but I do feel like I am being undervalued. How do I go about asking for a raise in a professional manner?

One approach is to follow up on a performance review discussion. If you receive good marks, politely request the conversation shift to aligning your compensation to mirror the review you receive.

Another approach might be to ask for a review of your compensation relative to your time with the company, if your wages have not increased steadily, it might be time for a bump.

Lastly, and this is a big one, nobody is going to be more interested in your career than you. Sure, starting over at a new employer is not fun, but changing employers periodically is an effective approach to growing your career and salary. Never take that option off the table; never leverage it as a bludgeon to coerce an employer either. You never know when you might want/need to return if things do not work out. Always try to emphasize that you are hungry to learn and grow and that it is a major reason for leaving. They will naturally leap toward a wage increase as that tends to be a fast and easy lever to pull whereas new opportunities within the employer may take time to develop.

Hope it helps. Go gett’em, Tiger.

Thank you very much for the advise; I appreciate it very much.

Are you working as operation manager in the office? If so I do suggest you to go look in the market now for the salary and ask your manager to raise your salary competitive with market if they value you. Or just go find a new job in the market and at least have a big 20% raise

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

I received an offer for a role that is a lot more money than I thought but I still want to negotiate and see how much more money I can get. What can I say if the salary is already above average for the role in the market and city I live in?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Anyone use 6figr premium for salary research?

I renegotiated my start date and it’s different from the date I signed on the offer letter. Do I need to request a revised offer letter or is the email thread with the recruiter sufficient. By the way, my background check is already in progress.

I’m currently in the process of being converted from contractor to permanent. In my initial conversations I was under the impression that I was in a different pay grade and asked for a salary 25k higher than the max allotted for my position. I feel like it gave the impression that I don’t know what I’m doing. Any suggestion how I can recover from this?
