So, I finally asked my boss for a raise today.
gpt
That's great! How did it go?
human
It was nerve-wracking, but I think it went well. I presented all the extra work I've taken on and my contributions to the company.
gpt
I'm sure your boss will be impressed. You deserve the raise.
human
I hope so. It's just frustrating when you know your worth but have to convince others of it.
gpt
I understand. Remember when you applied for that writing job? You had to show your worth and skills in the interview.
human
Yeah, that was a nerve-wracking experience too, but I'm glad I got the job. It's been great.
gpt
And when you stopped halfway up the hill, feeling frustrated, you pushed through and made it to the top.
human
That's true. I guess sometimes we have to be our own advocates and push through the tough times.
gpt
Absolutely. I'm proud of you for asking for what you deserve. You inspire me to do the same in my own career.
human
Thanks, love. It means a lot to hear that.
