When was the last time you asked for a raise?

Getting a raise keeps you motivated, lifts your self-esteem and adapts your income to all the increasing living costs.

When was the last time you asked for a raise?

Also, what arguments do you usually use in the discussion and have you ever switched the jobs due to not getting the raise?

6 years this one. 14 years previous job, 11 years the one before that, and 7 years before that.
I've always been given pay rises, never had to ask.

Never had to...raises were fine.

Promotions though are a different story....it's always good to have that conversation.
