On the 3rd of next month I'll have been here for 5 years. If you total all the increases in pay I received (not including bonus's) they total $1.69 an hour.

If that isn't reason enough I don't know what is. And its not $1.69 each year I got a raise,...it's $1.69 devided by 5 (years). So not even 34 cents an hour increace per year. Shit I'm being nice asking for only $5k

And thats only ONE reason.

Well I'd rather not bash my company with posting the actual name...but one of the products we make are the cooling fans in your xbox's and xbox 360's so when it burns out (and I bet it will) you'll know the company.

boss has been avoiding me all day

If it will help you go onto this site www.salary.com lots of good information about salary and raises, mean and median salaries depending on geographic location and a bunch of stuff. I run my own company with a few employees and used to be a director at a few big corporations and we use this tool alot to set salary ranges and as a tool to make sure we stay competitive in out market. You may find some good stuff in there to take to your meeting.

Note:
Not sure how close you are with your boss and or how relaxed your company is. But it is generally not wise to go into this type of thing with the "I have been this here this long and this is all I got" routine. Show your value in the company (what you do and stuff) and show some stats of some sort that validate your claim. Make it seem thought out.

dick around online all day...hahahah

Seriously though my official title is Admin Assitant III, yet I've taken on much of Facilities, some A/R and do all our Cobra Health Packages for the people we let go, quite or fire, HR used to do that and how it got dumped on me I still haven't figured that one. So in my eyes I've taken on parts of four other possitions which I totally don't mind...but a buck sixty nine?

Oh yeah I forgot I'm the only one that knows our security system, access cards, holiday access, doors, lighting, cameras etc. Its brand new as of last month and the installer quit so if anything does happen to the system we have no one but me to either fix it or contact the right people to fix it.

my job aint glamorous and I'm not even very proud of it but its keeping money coming in and I think it only fair to be compinstated

Man good luck in your quest. something to think about, cost of living goes up like 3% a year. You should get that as a minimum raise per year if your at a decent company that values their employees. If they are not willing to give it up or negotiate a deal it's time to move on bro. Employers always try to get labor as cheap as they can get away with, so if you are that valuable it should be no problem for them to kick down some cash. Just be polite in the way you bring it to the table. And be professional about it. well that's my 2cents and how I operate. It works pretty well for me. GOOD Luck to you.

Man.. sounds like me. Ive proved myself the first year I was working where I am... then since I was one of the few that 1)showed interest in moving up the ladder 2)busted ass with whatever they throw at me 3)dont complain much about pay 4)never miss a day and show up 10mins early EVERY day and 4)am always willing to learn something new... since I do all of those things it seems over the last 6-8months whenever someone gets frustrated or tired of working on things they throw it at me... then it gets done. The thing that sucks is when I started I was being paid accordingly.. then I started taking on tasks from people literally making double what I do, yet I dont get a bump in pay.

All in due time I suppose.. my goal is to sit in the boss's (sp?) chair someday, even told him that, in a nice way.
