i have a question for your mailbag

[lm]

Dear MW:

I have my one year review coming up on July 18. At this time my bosseseses will offer me a raise [or not, or fire me, one of the three]. I know that if they offer me a raise it will not be big enough. What are some good ways to negotiate a higher raise?

Sincerely,
LM

I think it would be better if you had the conversation on your knees.


What? Everybody does it.
