Emailed my boss for raise - worried

[cm8]

Did you get the raise?

, yes the DIS minds would like to know,

While you're waiting to hear back, what you really need to do is make a list of concrete and measurable reasons WHY you should get a raise. Just playing the seniority card isn't a good enough reason.

How has your position changed since the last increase? What additional duties do you perform? What additional value are you bringing to the company?

In my mind, an employee should NEVER base the reason for wanting a raise on the salary of another co-worker.

Quite true. A raise should be based on job performance and responsibilities not comparison to another employee or senority.

I bug my boss about raises all the time. Our company has frozen raises for all employees since 2008. But then I've been working under the same general manager for 10 years...
