[11[00:00:00]

Mr. White: So, [00:00:00]

tell me : what makes you think we should give you a raise?[00:00:01]

Miss Small: I've got several good reasons. [00:00:05]

I've been here several years, my work has proven to be good, [00:00:07]

and I've noticed that people in comparable jobs [00:00:11]

get paid more than I do.[00:00:14]

Mr. White: Salaries are confidential, [00:00:16]

how do you know how much money these "other people" make?[00:00:18]

Miss Small: Well, [00:00:21]

I've noticed all the new cars around here, for one thing.[00:00:22]

Mr. White: Those are company cars provided to the sales staff [00:00:25]

for their business trips.[00:00:28]

Also, some employees receive sales commissions. [00:00:29]

So good salesmen will naturally earn more.[00:00:33]

Miss Small: That's understandable. [00:00:36]

Well, rather than comparing my salary with someone else's, [00:00:38]

perhaps we could talk about my job performance. [00:00:42]

Surely you've noticed the extra hours I've put in recently? [00:00:45]

If i were being paid an hourly wage, [00:00:48]

with the standard time-and-a-half for overtime, [00:00:51]

I'd be earning much more.[00:00:54]

Mr. White: I see your point. [00:00:56]

However, it might be hard to get a raise approved. [00:00:57]

Profits were down last quarter, [00:01:00]

and the whole company is tightening its belt, [00:01:02]

so anything that affects the annual budget is hard to get approved. [00:01:04]

But I'll tell you what I'll do, [00:01:09]

I'll give you a one-time bonus for your recent hard work. [00:01:11]

And I'll try to arrange some sort of compensation [00:01:15]

for any future overtime.[00:01:18]

Miss Small: That would be very good of you, Mr. White.[00:01:20]
