7 reasons why you won't get a raise this year!! I've got my 3

An interesting article was forwarded by a colleague of mine about some 7 reasons why you won't get a raise this year. Pretty interesting reasons, the blames were mainly on the concerned person, and his inability to act at the right time, like threatening his boss with other job offers with higer perks. One more intersting thing is that there was only one reason out of seven that blames the employee directly - " make yourself valueable to the company". I've got my 3... :)
