今天老板告知给我涨了点工资,10%多一点吧,也不多,确很高兴!

事情是这样的,去年8月公司统一涨工资,只涨了5%左右。 本来我也没什么,被剥削惯了, 而且我知道平均就是涨这个数。谁知另外一个刚本科毕业,刚进公司1年的男生告诉我他涨了9%!!!而且他干的活绝对没我重要,我就很不爽了,立刻要求老板涨工资,在monster上查了一下,我这个experience level & degree, average 比我现在拿的多15%。公司很拖拉,但终于还是又给我涨了10%多一点,还说今年8月就应该可以把剩下的5%补上。我还是挺高兴的,因为在等绿卡,本来这2年都打算吃亏,少挣点了。现在基本上补齐了,可见,工资就是要大胆要来的!!!

you are absolutely right. here is the story about strategies for increasing the pay:


Strategies for increasing your pay



Are you too intimidated to ask your employer for a big raise? Maybe you prefer to grouse about income disparities. In fact, there's a widespread perception that the rich get richer while the poor get poorer, according to a Harris Interactive poll released in early December. Three-quarters of Americans feel this way, up from 68 percent in 2004.

Unfortunately, these perceptions are largely correct. Earlier this year, the Census Bureau released some statistics that attest to huge income disparities between the rich and the poor.

Let's start with the middle: Median household income, at $44,389 in 2004, was flat for the fifth consecutive year.

At the low end of the income scale, some 1.1 million more people hit the poverty skids last year, for a total tally of 37 million poor Americans. Meanwhile, slightly more than 50 percent of the income generated in the United States last year went to the wealthiest 20 percent of U.S. households.

Another survey released in late September revealed that the number of millionaires in the United States had increased 8 percent, to 8.9 million Americans, as of last May. The study concludes that the new millionaires didn't get rich from recent stock market gains or from the increased value of their primary residences, which were excluded from the net worth calculation. Rather, it was simply the result of long-term wealth accumulation.

Disparities not rare
Those who pay attention to business news regularly read about disparities between the rich and the poor. Here's how it works: Many top-level corporate management officials, who make the rules, get the gravy, while the average working stiff, who follows the rules, gets the breadcrumbs.

Case in point: At Delphi Corp., the troubled auto-parts firm that has recently filed bankruptcy, union workers were asked to take 50- percent-plus pay cuts, from $27 an hour on average to $12.50 an hour, according to the Wall Street Journal. Management has since withdrawn this request.

Meanwhile, the company planned to give its senior management more than $500 million in cash and bonuses so that they wouldn't leave during the bankruptcy process. "Obscene" was the word the United Auto Workers president used to describe these plans.

It should be noted that Delphi Corp. owes its pension plan a $400 million payment in January, according to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., which also opposes the big bonus plan for the company's top executives.

Time to strategize
We can bellyache about outrageous disparities, or we can accept that such unfairness is beyond our control. Let's instead focus on the things that are within our control and strategize on how to augment our own incomes.

We are approaching the time of year when many companies traditionally do their annual performance reviews. Let's take time to prepare by assembling the data we need to make a strong case as to why we deserve a big raise.

Some managers will describe the structure of their salary budgets as a zero-sum game, meaning that a higher raise for one person results in a lower raise for another. To a certain extent that may be true, but often these budgets can be expanded if a midlevel manager requests more money from higher ups. In other words, sometimes there's some flexibility here.

Overall, base salary increases will average 3.6 percent in 2006, according to Hewitt Associates. Meanwhile, the human resources consultant says that health-care costs are projected to rise 12 percent next year. This, of course, results in a net loss of income.

The good news: More and more workers are eligible to receive bonuses that are based on performance. So-called "variable pay plans," defined as performance-based bonuses that must be re-earned each year, are becoming an increasingly popular offering from employers. About 78 percent of large companies now have them, up from 50 percent in 1991. This type of merit-based pay aligns the interests of both business and employees, who have incentive to help the business prosper.

Do your own review
Managers are often so focused on the latest pressing business concerns that they may be oblivious to their workers' contributions to the bottom line. That's why you need to conduct your own analysis.

Have your efforts resulted in increased revenues for the company?

Have any changes that you suggested resulted in savings to the company?

Have you contributed in a positive way to the company's image by publishing a report that was picked up by the media? Or did you participate in a panel discussion that was attended by favorably impressed prospective clients?

In other words, what have you done for the company lately?

If you happen to work in a department that may not have a direct bearing on the bottom line even though it's central to the business, there are probably a dozen things you can do to improve your skill set that can in turn enhance your chances for a promotion or a big raise. Get into problem-solving mode and come up with a creative plan.

What have you done for yourself lately?
It's also the time of year when Americans traditionally make resolutions to meet goals of self-improvement. Following some of these suggestions can improve your value to yourself and quite possibly to your company, giving you the ammo with which to demand higher wages: Take a course in a relevant subject (for example, business management or accounting) at a reputable local or online college. Some companies will reimburse your tuition costs if the subject matter is related to the business. Check with your human resources department. If your company doesn't pay for course costs, take advantage of tax breaks that apply.

Volunteer to do work that will help you improve important skills that you may lack. For instance, charities are always looking for help with fundraising, and your involvement could help sharpen your sales pitches. Attend club meetings such as Rotary or Toastmasters that may help you overcome public speaking phobias or improve weak presentation skills. Join a professional organization so that you can network among others who may have insights on how to get ahead in your particular field.

Get a side job that won't interfere with your bread-and-butter job, but that may be fulfilling personally and at the same time help you earn extra money.

You should also apply some of the questions raised earlier to the way that you run your own household. What actions have you taken to increase your income? What measures have you implemented to cut back on spending?

Making more money and curbing spending are worthwhile general objectives, but the ultimate goal is to amass enough money so that it sustains you without having to earn it. Learn from those newly minted millionaires mentioned earlier: Engage in long-term wealth accumulation.

The main way we can do this when employed by someone else is to divert a substantial portion of our income to investments. Of course, it's much easier to set aside a large portion when you're making lots of money than if you're eking out a living.

Last-resort feel-good measure
If you're just not in the mood to consider self-improvement techniques at this time and find yourself in an utterly hopeless job situation, there's one thing you can do to feel better: Compare your position to less favorable jobs.

If you can find a copy, pick up a book called "The Worst Jobs in History: Two Thousand Years of Miserable Employment," by Tony Robinson. I received this as a gift from friends who live in England, David Bowman and his lovely wife Tracey.

This book focuses on lousy jobs in England, but it serves as an excellent antidote for that common malady known as "job dissatisfaction" that afflicts most people at one point or another in their careers.

As an example, after the Romans invaded and occupied Britain in A.D. 43, there were plenty of job openings for "puke collectors," an occupation described by the philosopher Seneca in "Epistulae Morales."

Robinson writes: A "passage of Seneca refers to the charmingly sophisticated habit of spitting and throwing up at table. 'Cum ad cenandum discubuimus, alius sputa deterget, alius reliquias temulentorum subditus colligit': 'When we recline at a banquet, one [slave] wipes up the spittle; another, situated beneath, collects the leavings [i.e., vomit] of the drunks.'"

Robinson's assessment: "What a truly revolting job, wiping up acrid-smelling cocktails of food, lumpy mixtures of Falernian wine, roast meats, the ubiquitous Roman sauce made of fermented fish and, of course, semi-digested dormice."

The book is loaded with unsavory means of employment, and knowledge of these may profoundly alter the way you perceive your current job.

以下是引用germo在2006-1-12 11:32:00的发言:

是呀,这个问题的难度就在于,你想让老板知道你知道别人的工资比你高,不想吃个哑巴亏,但是又不能明着告诉他你打听了别人的工资了


搂主很勇呀,10%非常好了,恭喜恭喜
