I work hard at my job.  We just acquired another company and now my job is twice the workload.  My boss gave two of my coworkers raises but has given me no compensation for all the extra work.  I am down, angry, jealous and have a bad work attitude.
The seeker was really nice and respectful

Yes, I think so too. I like my boss but he is funny about things sometimes. Any ideas on how I could bring it up to him. I hate feeling this way, my attitude is really turning sour.

So, I guess I'll have to be honest and brave at the same time. Do you think I should bring in proof....paperwork, etc. I have been working extra as well.

Yes I know you can do it but that is the only way to solve the situation is by communicating with him Yes that would help more by bringing in proof to him
