TIL my old way of asking for a raise was all wrong

I used to just list my duties and say I worked hard, but after a talk with my manager, Sarah, last month, I changed it. Now I show three specific things I did that helped the company, like saving $5,000 on a vendor contract. Has anyone else tried this kind of numbers-based approach?

I get the numbers thing, but honestly, my manager just cares if the work gets done. Showing a list of tasks has always worked fine for me.

Totally, same here... just showing up works for me.
