6.Skipping the Prep Work

　　6. 不做任何准备工作

　　Wearing unprofessional clothes, and giving a disjointed, rambling, or off-the-cuff rationale for your raise does not impress. Even if your company doesn't have much of a dress code, it's still important to look and act professionally in this moment.

　　穿着随意，加薪理由与目的脱节，看起来散漫不严肃，说要求时像在即兴发挥，你怎可能要到加薪?即使您公司没啥着装要求，在这种关键时刻还是要看起来专业认真的。

　　Next steps: Plan talking points, and rehearse ahead of time. Dress to impress: this is a good excuse to break out your interview outfit.

　　咋整：计划好要陈述的关键点，提前自己排练。穿着要令人赏心悦目：这是一个解冻你面试套装的好机会。

　　7.You're a Difficult Employee

　　7.你很难搞啊

　　Sounds harsh, but if you're a challenge to work with, a downer in meetings, or a frequent complainer, you may be a problem for your manager, making him or her unwilling to make the case to superiors that you deserve a raise.

　　听起来有点伤人，不过如果你很难相处，会议上也不积极，还常常抱怨，你可能就成为了经理的眼中钉，肉中刺——他们就并不会给你加薪，即使你应该被加薪了。

　　Next steps: Evaluate your attitude. How do you present yourself in meetings and everyday occasions around the office? Consider if your complaints and critiques are overshadowing your good work.

　　咋整：瞅瞅你的态度。你在会议里或是日常工作中给人什么感觉?想想你的抱怨是否遮蔽了你的好业绩。

　　8.Employers Fear a Wave of Requests

　　8.一大波要加薪来袭。

　　Many companies can be fearful of giving out raises, since granting one request could lead to others.

　　很多公司不敢给加薪就是怕给这个加了其他员工又像打地鼠一样冒出来了。

　　Next steps: This puts you in a tough position. You can mention that you'll be discrete about your raise, and also make the point that your raise should be evaluated on its own merits. However, if this is the response you get, it may be a sign that it's a good time to kick off a job search.

　　咋整：这让你很难做啊。在要加薪时，你可能得提提你会对这事保密，或者要求上司公正评估自己提薪的价值。但是如果结果都是被拒，那么这可能意味着你要启程去找找新工作啦。

　　9.Your Salary Is Already Market-Standard

　　9.你的薪资已经够着了本行业最高标准

　　If you didn't do research as to the typical salary range for your position before requesting a raise, your manager may deny the request, reasoning that you're already getting the amount you deserve.

　　如果在申请加薪前不看看自己职位的薪资水平区间的话，你的经理很可能拒绝你的要求，这就表明你已经拿到了你应得的数目。

　　Next steps: Do some salary research, at sites such as Glassdoor.com, Payscale.com, or Salary.com.

　　咋整：做些薪资考察，Glassdoor、Payscale、Salary网站都是可以的。

　　10.You Didn't Ask!

　　10.你不动嘴问!

　　While it's certainly possible that a raise will appear in your paycheck before you request it, that's not often going to be the case. If you feel that you are deserving of a raise, ask for it.

　　虽然不申请就有加薪是一定有可能的，但往往是不会这样的。如果你觉得自己应得到加薪，就去要吧!

　　Next steps: Read about how to request a pay raise, and schedule some time with your manager.

　　咋整：学学怎样申请加薪，并且安排时间找经理商量这事。
