Asking for a pay raise 2

Do you think you are receiving less than what you worth? Are you demotivated because of your pay? Do you think people in other companies performing the same functions are earning more than you do? How would you then proceed to ask for a pay raise? 

     There are two schools of thought regarding this topic. One school of thought says an employee should make his or her desire known to the boss while the other says an employee should not request for that. The first opinion argues that an employee should express his desire if he works in a small company. The reason is that small organizations generally forget about the issue and reminding them will be beneficial to the employee. 

     The second school of thought justifies its opinion of not requesting for a pay raise because your pay is tied to your performance. If your performance is good, your salary will automatically be good. This school of thought emphasizes that big companies generally use performance evaluation to compensate its functionaries. 

     But, what happens if your performance is good but there is no change in your income? Watch out for what specialists say about this!
