I don’t even ask for raises anymore. My employer either just gives me regular raises or I just go elsewhere. If I have to ask then even if they do give me a raise it still means that they wanted to rip me off. I don’t work for people that want to rip me off.

My job isn’t to haggle, my job is to fix shit. If they want to make me haggle then I’ll just go work for someone who doesn’t.
