ask for a raise

　evaluate your job duties. are your daily responsibilities the same now as when you were hired, or have you taken on a more important role? how have you contributed to the company? do co-workers awkwardly call you "pal" ause they can't place your name? have specific accomplishments ready and don't be shy about sharing them. be ready to show how you've increased profits, sales or efficiency. remind your employer of the difficult projects you managed and their successful outcomes. if you can't think of any, start keeping a weekly log of your accomplishments at work (during your coffee break of course). this will help show how your position has evolved and how you have benefited the company.

　your last resort, of course, is the (gasp) counter-offer. another company making you an offer is a surefire way to get your boss's attention and show your worth. this is a tricky plan that can backfire if you aren't really prepared to leave, or if you break up into hysterics when you first mention it. make sure that you do have another job to go to, and that you are truly willing to go, ause they just might say "good luck. don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you." on the other side of the coin, if they do offer you a raise, assess whether the money is worth the extra commitment your company will expect in return. you may just want to take the other offer, especially if it means you'll be playing power forward for the lakers.
