I think I’m due for a raise at work, what do I do?
Demonstrate how you you have increased in value for the company with specifics. Cite added responsibilities, noteworthy accomplishments and allude to industry rates.

Demonstrate how you you have increased in value for the company with specifics. Cite added responsibilities, noteworthy accomplishments and allude to industry rates. If you can’t explicitly say why you are worth more, then you aren’t going to be worth more.

That will also give you fresh perspective and new focus for when you actually do return to work.

It seems to me that when people tell you about everday problems, those problems just don’t seem that important to you. Maybe when someone complains that they feel ugly, there’s something in their life that stops them from working out. Maybe there’s something in their life that makes them feel like not being pretty is way worse than it actually is. Most of the time when we don’t feel what someone else is feeling we’re just not seeing the whole picture
