How to ask your boss for a raise ?

Yesterday My colleague was so fed up with work, wanted to ask my Boss for a raise. I stopped him! I told him - You want to do this right. According to some psychiatrists, there's a good and bad time to ask for a pay raise. They say your boss has a weekly cycle of moods and you want to make sure you pick the right time.

Take Monday to ask for a vacation. Your boss just enjoyed his or her weekend and will be in a better mood and will be more willing to grant you some time off.

Tuesday is the day for bad news. Break it gently. This gives your boss the rest of the week to clean up your mess....LOL....

The day to ask for a raise? Wednesdays. This survey says managers told them they felt more charitable on Wednesdays than any other day.

If you have new ideas, present them to your boss on Thursdays. They're more open-minded.

Friday is the day to ask for favors. After all, bosses are looking forward to the weekend, too.

Good luck!!!

    I ask & he'll say "we'll see ... " every year !
    Then he'll increase like 1-5% !!!! If not at all.

    My mum ask her Boss for a rise, her salary has been stagnant for the past 2 years. Guess what he said? "you have hit the ceiling already!!! "

    Terrible right? Some bosses bully older workers, even those who are good at their jobs & have been with the company for ages!
