    I have never asked for a raise but there have been times I wanted to. I just asked for my boss to pay insurance for me and he had no problem with that, thats one of the reasons I would not ask for a raise right now.

    I wouldnt even know how to ask for a raise.

    I have no problem asking for a raise when I deserve it.

    I have done it plenty of times in my life.

    I don't need to ask for a raise, I'm rich already...

    No, because I am lucky to have the job that I have without having a college degree...

    i've never "asked" for a raise.

    my first job gave automatic annual raises, so that by the end i was making $10.50 an hour to bale hay... really no room to ask for a raise there...

    my next job i didn't have that long.

    next job i was given a raise and i didn't even realize it had happened until about a month later.

    my next two jobs had raises negotiated when i started the jobs, so i just had to go and say "hey, i now meet the qualifications; give me my raise" when the time came
