Ask Your Boss for a Raise During the Recession

http://www.youtube.com/user/TheGuysManual Grape-Nuts and ESPN's Kenny Mayne want to help you prove value at work so you can ask your boss for a raise during the recession in this episode of the Guy's Manual.

HOST
We all know its tough out there. I even had to stop bathing with gold infused soap. So how is Robert going to get a raise this climate? He's lucky he's got me. And these nuggets of chicken...I mean wisdom. First things first, you need to make sure your boss knows you've been working hard. But don't go overboard. You don't want to be this guy.

ROBERT
I re-worked the numbers on the Flanagan account. By the way, nice shoes. Robert slides back out.

HOST KENNY MAYNE
Now, theres a certain dress code that coincides with upward mobility. By the way...don't try too hard here though. This is good, if you are trying to
become the mascot of a peanut company or break into board game real estate. Just ask yourself, ""WWATD?"" What would Alan Thicke do? Okay, Robert, you're ready to see the boss. But you can't walk in empty-handed. You dont want show up to a gun battle with a cheese knife. Thats not me telling you to bring an actual weapon. Your weapon should be proof youre worth the investment. Just make sure your arguments dont involve things like how many wings you can eat. Between you and me, Bobby, that's an impressive amount of chicken parts. Now if youre asking to be a
captain of industry, you better know where you wanna sail the ship.

ROBERT
Three words: Rotisserie Tanning Machine.

HOST KENNY MAYNE
Now you have him where you want him. But when you start talking money, it can be treacherous. Which brings me to the next tip. Find out how high your boss will go, then ask for 25% more. That way, when you settle for something close to what you actually expected, youll still be satisfied.

ROBERT
And this includes the key to the bathroom that actually has toilet paper?

HOST KENNY MAYNE
Welcome to the big leagues, Robert. Until next time, enjoy being a man who gets things done.
