How to get a SMART raise.
I work for a huge corporation who are extremely tight with increasing salaries. But I refused to give in to my bosses answer that there was no room in the budget for giving me a proper raise. So I told him that I understood that, but asked him how much more he thought I should have, had there been room in the budget. And he told me that I really did deserve a 10% increase in salary. So I turned it around and said – OK, I’ll just work 10% less for the same pay. He agreed and I now enjoy 5 more weeks of vacation per year, and I’m still making a great wage. Now my goal is actually to get down to 80% on the same salary and possibly get a second stream of income in all my spare time.
