Over the past 30 years, salary never goes up, I know because I saw the salary today is same as my first salary 30 years ago, Im not disclosing my age, so dont be too paranoia, but the price of everything goes up thru the roof, the only person who salary goes up are (ikr, salary must kept secret because it is case sensitive, dont tell anyone else!), ok, enough rant! Try to tell your kids to work for a salary in the future, I think they could barely afford a piece of beard!!
End of story! Ciao!
The price of goods goes up automatically, but as for your salary you will have to ask for it, if you need an increase in salary and you think you deserve it. Hardly will you see any employer that is ready do an increase for you without you asking for it cause they will assume that you're okay with what you're being paid, so for that they wouldn't give you any increase in salary.
So if you know your worth and you know that the salary you're being paid is not worth it, then its up to you to talk about it with your boss or whoever you're meant to talk to about it. Another way your salary can be increased is through promotion and sometimes that means that you're getting double work than what you work before, and the increase after then might still not be worth it cause of the work that has been doubled up.
LOL, you can only ask for salary when you are working with a private firm, but when you work with government, you have to wait till it gets to your promotion time, and when you are being promoted, it comes with little benefit of increase in salary and the increase too is still not that much to cater for ones full need.
For private firm, the only people that really enjoys and can demand for increase is when you are probably an expert in your field, so they treat you as one, but as an ordinary worker, they dont pay attention that much too, they will only tell you that they will look into it and may not. The best is just be your own boss, work for yourself and earn whatever amount you want.
