Have you personally went up to your boss and ask for an increment? If yes, were you successful? Why were you successful/unsuccessful ?


OR


Since you are in a managerial position, has anyone came up to you and ask for an increment? What were among the questions you asked them why they want an increment?

The point I'm asking this questions is to anticipate and understand how employers react to situations like this. Since you pointed out that we do not need to write a letter to our employers but instead go up to them and ask for it, I assume you may have some experience in this matter. Hope you can share it with us in detail. Thanks
