If you're like many Americans, you're making a solid income that now seems smaller in the face of food- and gas-price inflation and education costs and mortgage payments.Should you play the sympathy card? Should you ask your boss for a raise, because, say, your son "needs new shoes"? Should you ask for a four-day workweek because gas is really pushing you over the edge and "the commute is killing the family budget"?
How do confession and hopes for sympathy play out professionally?
