Hey everyone, a while back a posted about asking for a raise before or after my training. Now that it ended the branch that was helping me with my training has offered me a position with good benefits and pay. I already came back to my home town and I will be turning a year on the 27th. I love my manager and she’s always looked out to me but her family’s business tend to be some of the worst people to work with. I will be asking for a good raise since I know a deserve it and my work has payed off. Now my question is, should I do it on the 27 or wait a couple days ?

So, i got 5 bids for a new bathroom. Four of them were unacceptably undetailed in their bid.. im getting a whole bathroom done top to bottom, and the bid/contract was like one page long and super generic and nothing i can imagine signing for $30,000.

Then one contractor as actually serious.. an interior designer came out, she went back to the office and created a well designed line item by line item bid. This is absolutely the person we are more comfortable dealign with. Of course, they cost a bit higher than the rest. We are going out next week to meet her at the office to pick out materials. And put a deposit down, if we are ready..

How do i ask for a lower price? Everything seems to be lined up very much in a “this cost this much” on every line items, etc etc etc.

How do i work in asking for a lower price. I don’t want to use the other contractors, i want to use this one and not blow it. But i still feel like all of these are expecting me to ask for money off??

Tips appreciated!
