What has been the hardest thing you have done in order to secure a raise? For me it was having the work 6 12 hour days a week and work at 150% capacity for 2 months. Ended up getting sick but the 15% raise was worth it I think. How about everyone else? Is this normal or a bit crazy?

I understand why you might feel it's worth it, but I wouldn't call it normal. Working hard for a period of time is one thing, but getting sick in pursuit of a raise is a warning sign. Long-term health and career sustainability are equally important

Then if I order something for me he wants half or bites! Sick of it!!!
