<prompt> Human: I am currently at 17.00 an hour Full time with a few commission and mileage reimbursement checks here and there. I have taken on the responsibilities of my sales manager as he was laid off. He was making close to 80k, but he was also older and had more experience. In my meeting which is today I am going to ask for 25 an hour. I just want to here some opinions on if this is too much? Am i being a needy millennial? Or do you think it is a reasonable amount seeing as I have more responsibilities and have done a great job with handling them.Also the company laid him off because they were having money issues and I dont want to be let go if I make too much...EDIT: Thanks so much for the responses! T-minus 3 hours till meeting!Post meeting results. Got a 1.50 raise off the bat. And the 25 will becoming before June this year. You win some you lose some. Ill mark as a win in my book. Thanks everyone! Ps... I also added that the position would keep me occupied for the next 5-7 years and then I would be looking to fulfill her role CEO and owner.  <response>: Look at it like this. If the other guy was making 80k, thats roughly 40 a hour I believe. You asking for 25 is way under what they were spending. Highball em and ask for 30, and that way 25 sounds better to them. As uotto_mod said, if you think youre worth it, ask for it.
