When you have a difficult boss, asking for a raise can feel extremely hard. It can be tempting to simply put up with your low salary, or to jump ship and find another job elsewhere, rather than fighting for what you deserve.<\/p>\n
Before you decide to give up, try one of the following email templates – in the worst case, your boss will decline your request for a raise and you can then decide whether to look for another job, but on the other hand, you might just succeed and get that raise after all! If you don’t ask, you’re not likely to get.<\/p>\n
We’ve put together 5 email templates that persuasively tell your difficult boss you would like a raise<\/strong> for you to pick and apply to your own scenario:<\/p>\n

\nDear [Insert Name],<\/strong><\/h5>\n
As you know, it will be three years since I joined [Insert Company Name] on the 15th of this month. I’ve really enjoyed working here, and I’ve learned so much. I believe I’ve made a positive contribution to the company, and I’m committed to working hard to further develop my skills in the future.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
With all of this in mind, I was surprised to learn that many of my colleagues earn considerably more than I earn, even though we have the same workloads and responsibilities. I’m sure that you’d agree that this doesn’t seem to be in line with company policy.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Would it be possible to meet with you to discuss a pay rise, to bring my salary in line with that of other employees? If you are free on Monday at 3 pm, that would be ideal for me.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Best regards,
<\/strong>[Insert Your Name]<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.nevertherightword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/wallet-cash-coins-never-right-word-scaled.jpg” admin_label=”Single Image” _builder_version=”4.4.8″ custom_css_main_element=”}||.wrapper {||position: relative;||height: 0;||\/* Formula is: (height \/ width * 100%) *\/||padding-top: calc(540 \/ 800 * 100%);||}||||.wrapper__img {||position: absolute;||top: 0;||left: 0;||max-width: 100%;||height: auto;” border_radii=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ locked=”on”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_code admin_label=”Bad Boss: Dealing with a Difficult Manager LinkedIn Learning Preview Video” _builder_version=”3.26.7″ text_orientation=”left” link_option_url=”https:\/\/linkedin-learning.pxf.io\/1kdDx” link_option_url_new_window=”on” global_module=”10768″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”on”]If you want to develop your communication skills for professional environments even further, we think you\u2019ll like the “Bad Boss: Dealing with a Difficult Manager” video course from LinkedIn Learning.
