could we possibly discuss my salary some time ?   sure .   first of all , I want you to know that I really like working for this company . Do you think I'm doing a good job here ?   well , you are a very hard-worker .   I try very hard . The problem is , my salary just isn't enough to live on . Now that I have a wife and a child to support , we hardly have enough money for food and rent .   there are trying times for everyone . What do you propose ?
