When you have a great year (like I had last year) or when you think that people in your position has a higher income but you deliver more (I'm not talking about perception but facts ;-) )., it is the time to become more aggressive in your demand. Once you get what you have been asking for, it is the time to calm down ;-). @BMSP Never asking for more is stupid. You are right, those people will get a lower salary over the long term. However, always asking for more will categorize you in the "annoying employees" section. You don't want to be part of them ;-) @ Sensei, Another trick in this situation is to bring up your good moves to your boss without talking about raise or promotion. Just letting him know how good you are for the company can pay back and you would not have to ask for anything ;-) @IS

However, if you do not speak up, sometimes you may never even get noticed for the work you do.
