I'm planning to ask my boss for a raise but I don't know how to go about it. Can you give me some advice?

Well that’s a pretty common situation for most people and I don’t think you have to be embarrassed about it. First off, you should know that talking about your salary is actually a pretty big deal, especially at work. The way I’d approach it is to express gratitude to your boss for the work they've given you, and then make a case for why you deserve a raise. Try to bring up what you’ve accomplished since you've been there, maybe some data on your time or productivity, and why you should get a raise. This can be challenging to do when your company is struggling, though, and it's also possible your boss doesn’t feel comfortable giving you one.
