I made a comment in the weekly thread for some advice, feel free to read it for some more context if you want (warning it’s long).
What’s the process of asking for a raise? Should you go in with numbers and stats or act as if you don’t get a raise you’re going to leave and they will lose the business you bring in? A little bit of both?
My wife hasn’t had a raise in about 4 years. She makes $45k, is the sole employee of her satellite office with almost zero ‘overhead’ since she works entirely from home. She brings the company >$500,000 in revenue each year and if she were to suddenly quit the closest employee would be >200 miles away and it’d be extremely unlikely they’d make a new hire in the area so quickly since there’s essentially ZERO company presence in the area besides my wife.
How should she go about demanding a raise? She has a pretty low career self image and is non-confrontational. Is there some resources to 1. get an idea of what a realistic salary/revenue brought it could be? 2. way to improve her confidence or see that they’re taking advantage of her financially? 3. make a solid plan of what to say and how to act during a potential meeting with her boss about demanding a raise?
I’m at a loss and feel her self esteem and our families future is being held back by this.
Start interviewing somewhere else.
If she gets an offer at a new place she can go say that she likes it where she is but the new opportunity is financially better and if they can match.
No raise in four years!?!?!? Look somewhere else ASAP, that is not a company anyone should keep working for. Your wife is literally being paid less every year as she gains experience – she is worth more than that.
Even if she gets a new job, I would not consider a counteroffer from her current company. In my opinion no raise after 2-3 years is abusing an employee.
I just sent my boss a message asking to increase my pay and offered what I thought was a good rate. It was approved by the owner in a couple of days. Seriously just ask.
Asking questions are truly good thing if you are not understanding anything fully,
but this article offers pleasant understanding even. https://bank333.peatix.com/view

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea
shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to
go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
