<prompt> Human: The cost of recruiting, onboardingtraining, etc often exceeds the cost of paying an already established employee more. Just remember that next time you talk yourself out of asking for a raise.Edit: Ok, so Ive only been responding to push notifications and didnt realize this is the top post on Personal Finance. Wowsers.Also all of you have provided so many good comments and insights I failed to point out. What a sub you have here.Edit: My phone is so old that trying to turn off the push notifications is causing it to freeze. Front page life is hard. Im still in disbelief this made the front page. More importantly the collective participation has been amazing. From useful to funny, you guys killed it. Thanks to employers who werent afraid to offer their own food for thought. It made for a more valuable thread.  <response>: Depends on your position and situation. Dont just blindly walk into your bosss office and request this.
