Your boss responds to your request coldly and says that there is no budget for a salary increase. How will you respond?

  • 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.
