When your boss at a job calls you into the office, And asks you why should i give you a raise? whats a good asnswer to this question

Assuming you are worth a raise, tell him or her that a raise will keep you from looking for another job. (If I had a boss that went about giving raises that way, I'd be looking for another job.)

On second thought, in today's poor job market, that may not be a good idea.

If you want to keep the job, and get a decent raise, be prepared to list the things you have done that have contributed to the success (profits) of the company.
Yes, the most important thing to that boss will be knowing what you have done for the company. How have you made him/her look good, without stating that! It won't hurt to also mention some things you can still do for the company, without letting him/her steal your ideas and take credit for them. Some bosses will take credit for their employees' work because his/her own job security is more important to him/her.
