<prompt> Human: I hope this is the right place for this - Ive been with this company for years - since I was 17. When I asked for a raise 3 years after working for them they said I was at the cap. 3 more years later, that cap hasnt gone up. They changed my position and I did it with the same pay for another 3 months until I got fed up. My boss asked for my behave and after a fight they gave me a dollar. I was advised to speak on behalf of myself and email the president as well as COO and CFO. Whats the best way to go forward with this? The job is really great and way too convenient for my lifestyle. They easily accommodate so I dont really want to leave, but if they dont respond well thats probably what I have to do. what should I include in this email? I want to get it out tonight. I dont want to waste any more time. Edit to mention: the reason I say its convenient is because Ive been here so long and my boss is pretty accommodating. I dont plan on staying here forever I just need the income right now. I have bigger plans to return to school. But for the time being I dont want to work for crap money - Ive applied other places as well but the drive just isnt worth it - this place is 10 min from my home. They make millions, its obvious from his mansion in Newport Beach as well as his luxurious cars and clothing, so its not that they dont have money. They just consider themselves fiscally conservative. Another thing: I think I may have confused some of you, but Im not fighting for 13 - thats what they gave me and Im trying to get more than that because I dont do entry level stuff anymore Assistant: You already wasted 5 years. Get a new job where there is room for growth.Human: Agreed.The part where OP mentions the job is convenient for their lifestyle makes me think they are probably more complacent than they make it seem in this post.Assistant: Not at all. What I meant was I just need the income - its right by my house. I dont waste all that much gas. I plan to go back to school, I just need to work right now.  <response>: I mean, a substantial increase in income at a different place slightly further away will make up for the tiny increase in gas and then some.
