If you drive 1hour to your work. That means 2 hours a day, 10 hours per week that you spend exclusively on your work, qnd that's probably not being paid at all.

Be clear. “I'd like a 10% raise”, not “what are the chances of me getting a raise?” If they ask why, give them a non-confrontational reason. The easiest nowadays is inflation. “Inflation is really high now and I need a raise to counteract it”. Or, if you…
