Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.
