Keavze 1st Gear August 5, 2009 Share August 5, 2009 hi all, after doing some surveys/research, i found that my current pay is below market rate by about 20-30%... what would be the best/tactful ways to 'ask' for a revision without harming employer/employee relationships? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladykillerz 4th Gear August 5, 2009 Share August 5, 2009 Instead of asking for a sudden increment, do a soul searching on why are you in such a situation? Perhaps either suck thumb and move on, or it is time for you to change job!~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am confused? Why should you salary be pegged to the market rate? If you can't perform then 20-30% below market rate is already too good for you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't perform then 20-30% below market rate is already too good for you actually performance is above what should be deserved...got a couple of offers giving 30% more but i would prefer to stay on. just that i cant stand being 'makan'.
