My boss is stingy and never gives me a raise, even though I have been working for him for years. What is the best way to get my boss to give me a raise without actually doing any more work?

Your best bet is to try to find someone whose salary is similar to yours and who works for a competing company. Show your boss evidence of their higher salary and explain why you believe that you deserve a raise. You should also outline how a raise would benefit your work performance, thereby benefitting the company as a whole. Additionally, if there are opportunities for your boss to save money by reducing expenses or increasing profits, be sure to let them know that you're willing to help out in order to get some extra cash (this shows initiative and commitment). Finally, emphasizing how appreciative you are for having a job and expressing gratitude may just do the trick - it doesn't hurt ask nicely!

Your best bet is to emphasize your loyalty to the company, while pointing out how much you have contributed to its success over the years. Focus on all the extra hours and hard work you have put in and be sure to acknowledge any compliments or positive feedback you have received from customers or other colleagues. You could also bring up comparison examples with other employees who started at the same time as you, emphasizing that many of them already receive a higher wage than you do for doing essentially the same job.
