Best Answer:
Be frank and tell your boss that you have only received a dollar raise in five years. Ask him if there is anything that will improve your performance enough for a raise? If he gives some suggestions, take them to heart, and ask if you could have a review in a few weeks to determine if you are doing them to his satisfaction...
