Watch: It’s your right to share your salary, not doing so could be holding you back.

At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.

They gave me a number to shoot for.  It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.

So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.

I got what I asked for.

If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known.  I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.

You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.

Because this is crucially important

working at a company that has a policy that each employee must recieve a preformance based raise every six months- after four years finally get the second raise and am told that i should be thankful because it was the largest raise they gave that way and should shut up.

later found out that was a bold faced lie, i was the lowest paid employee in the entire company by about two dollars an hour
