Asking for a Raise要求加薪(1)


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

告诉我,你为什么认为我们应该给你加薪?

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.

我有几点很好的理由.我在这儿工作很多年了,我的工作业绩很好,而且我发现做类似工作的同事薪水比我高.


Mr. White: Salaries are confidential 1, how do you know how much money these "other people" make?

薪金是保密的,你怎么知道别的人赚多少钱?

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

起码我注意到最近这里有很多新车.


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.

这是公司为销售人员配备的用于公务的车.而且某些员工能得到销售提成.好的销售人员自然应该得到更多报酬.

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 2, I'd be earning much more.

可以理解.不谈工资差异的话,也许我们该谈谈我的工作表现.最近您一定注意到我常常加班?如果按加班算,我就能得到相当于工资1.5倍的加班费,我会挣的多得多.


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 3 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.但是涨工资的确很难.上个季度公司利润下降了,整个公司都在紧缩开支,任何影响年度预算的事情都不会被考虑的.但我要做的是给你一次性的资金,奖励你最近的辛勤工作。对于以后的加班,我将尽量给予补偿。

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

您真好,White先生。
