As soon as you see yourself as a product the more money one can make. It's all one big game and knowing how to play it can make one a shitload of money. I hate to keep pounding this point home but I'm trying to help ATOT.

Yup, it is a game and all you have to do to be "successful" in the corporation is, give up your passion for your work, enforce policies you know are wrong and, watch the company make yet another bad decision for short term gain and to hell with the future.

Sorry, you caught me on my corporate soapbox.

The reason you 2 might be having such a different experience is because of the industries you work in?

I generally make a two page document detailing and outlining exactly what I have done, where the market is, where I believe my skills are at, print it out and sign it. Introduction, executive summary, body and closing. Basically a professional memo, standard formal memo format. Then hand deliver. It means I'm SERIOUS and view it as a business transaction instead of just asking for money with my hand out.

This is what I did, worked great, and I concur with doing it before the fiscal years budget. Had a coworker talk about a raise after it and they were SOL.
