I don’t judge another person’s pocket or self worth.
If it’s warranted, I’ll do what I can to facilitate it.
They position it in terms of their need (I need to buy a new car etc) vs the value they provide. (When I started I was doing ABC, now I’m doing XYZ, and my current salary doesn’t reflect that.)
Woah.
Their overinflated sense of self-worth.
The ‘it’s my 6 month (or 1 yr) anniversary, where’s my raise’ - bonus points for when this request comes in after a conversation on improving performance and learning to temper the sarcasm and rudeness towards other teammates.
p.s., this is a true story that actually happened
I got a raise and it was hardly a raise and my boss handed me over the letter and expected me to be beaming. I laughed and said “I need more. I know my worth and the need this agency has for me” and he snapped and said “I heard you live alone. Maybe you should get a roommate”.
In hindsight, I feel a bit awkward about how I handled it knowing what he probably went through asking for a promotion for me but I stand by my reaction and feel it taught me to know not to ever settle. They gave me more. ;)

I'm not making it personal. Either I think it's worth it and I can make the numbers work, or I can't.
Needs vs. performance/value
I’ll flip the premise on you. I’ve had more disappointments from people who quit and jumped jobs for more pay without even trying to get a raise (which they likely would have gotten.)
If you’ve established your value and you believe you’re under compensated, make the case to your superior. But as others said, being at a company for 6-12 months is not enough reason to demand an increase in salary.
I agree with the responses above; if it’s “I’ve been here six months and have done all of my assignments,” I’m not going to be very motivated to get that person a raise. And it can’t be “I need more money.” And, “I heard my partner gets paid more than me” isn’t a legitimate reason either. My goal is to make sure people who deserve raises get them before they ask. Ideally, people should never have to ask.
It’s kinda messed up for two partners to be paid differently though, no?
Turn off for me is entitlement or tenure based requests.
Leading with “I need to buy (thing)/lend (friend or family member) money/get myself out of this financial hole” instead of “I brought unexpected value to what we do by doing XYZ.”
Entitlement
I've had a request of “my husband thinks I should make more money” and “my wife is having another kid.” I advised life choices don't justify increases. Consistent, dependable work, or going anove and beyond with success does.
