- I will ask what the conditions are for a future raise, and I will agree on specific steps.
- I want to emphasize that the contribution of my work deserves fair recognition, and I request a review of the possibilities.
- I would suggest other benefits, such as flexible working hours or more time off.
- I will remain calm, but I ask for a clear explanation and facts about the budget constraints.
- I will start to consider another job opportunity if I don't feel sufficiently appreciated.
