Asking for a Raise要求加薪(1)

Mr. White: So, tell me : what makes you think we should give you a raise?

告訴我,你為什么認為我們應(yīng)該給你加薪?

Miss Small: I've got several good reasons. I've been here several years, my work has proven to be good, and I've noticed that people in comparable jobs get paid more than I do.

我有幾點很好的理由.我在這兒工作很多年了,我的工作業(yè)績很好,而且我發(fā)現(xiàn)做類似工作的同事薪水比我高.

Mr. White: Salaries are confidential, how do you know how much money these "other people" make?

薪金是保密的,你怎么知道別的人賺多少錢?

Miss Small: Well, I've noticed all the new cars around here, for one thing.

起碼我注意到最近這里有很多新車.

Mr. White: Those are company cars provided to the sales staff for their business trips.

Also, some employees receive sales commissions. So good salesmen will naturally earn more.

這是公司為銷售人員配備的用于公務(wù)的車.而且某些員工能得到銷售提成.好的銷售人員自然應(yīng)該得到更多報酬.

Miss Small: That's understandable. Well, rather than comparing my salary with someone else's, perhaps we could talk about my job performance. Surely you've noticed the extra hours I've put in recently? If i were being paid an hourly wage, with the standard time-and-a-half for overtime, I'd be earning much more.

可以理解.不談工資差異的話,也許我們該談?wù)勎业墓ぷ鞅憩F(xiàn).最近您一定注意到我常常加班?如果按加班算,我就能得到相當(dāng)于工資1.5倍的加班費,我會掙的多得多.

Mr. White: I see your point. However, it might be hard to get a raise approved. Profits were down last quarter, and the whole company is tightening its belt, so anything that affects the annual budget is hard to get approved. But I'll tell you what I'll do, I'll give you a one-time bonus for your recent hard work. And I'll try to arrange some sort of compensation for any future overtime.

我明白你的意思.但是漲工資的確很難.上個季度公司利潤下降了,整個公司都在緊縮開支,任何影響年度預(yù)算的事情都不會被考慮的.但我要做的是給你一次性的資金,獎勵你最近的辛勤工作。對于以后的加班，我將盡量給予補償。

Miss Small: That would be very good of you, Mr. White.

您真好，White先生。
