I’d like to discuss my compensation. Lisa 嗨,你有幾分鐘嗎?我想聊一下我的薪資。 Lisa Sure, take a seat. What’s on your mind? 當然,坐吧。你想聊什麼? Kevin I was wondering if we could talk about adjusting my salary. I’ve been here almost two years now. 不知道我們能不能聊一下調薪這件事。我在這裡快兩年了。 Lisa Okay, walk me through your thinking. 好,跟我說說你的想法。 Kevin Based on my contributions this year — leading the API migration and onboarding two junior devs — I think it’s a fair conversation to have. 基於我今年的貢獻——帶領 API 遷移、帶兩個新進工程師——我覺得這是一個合理該討論的話題。 Lisa Those are real wins. What number are you thinking? 那些都是實打實的成果。你心裡的數字是? Kevin Looking at market rate for my role, I’d be looking for a bump in the ten to twelve percent range. 看我這個職位的市場行情,我想爭取百分之十到十二的調幅。 Lisa That’s on the higher end. Help me make the case to finance. 這算偏高的。幫我跟財務部把這個 case 講通。 Kevin Happy to. I pulled data from three job boards — same title, same years of experience — and the median is actually above my current base. 沒問題。我從三個求職網站拉了資料——同職位、同年資——中位數其實高於我目前的底薪。 Lisa Fair. And the migration project — that shipped two weeks early, right? 合理。然後遷移那個專案——提早兩週上線對吧? Kevin Two weeks early, and we cut response times by forty percent. Would you be open to factoring that into the review? 提早兩週,而且我們把回應時間砍了 40%。你願意把這個納入考核嗎? Lisa I can’t promise the full twelve, but I’d appreciate it if you could put this in writing — the projects, the numbers, the ask. I’ll take it upstairs this week. 沒辦法保證全部 12%,但希望你能把這份書面整理出來——專案、數字、訴求都列清楚。我這週往上呈報。 Kevin Done. I’ll have it in your inbox tonight. Thanks for hearing me out. 沒問題。今天晚上會寄到你信箱。謝謝你願意聽我說。 Lisa That’s what I’m here for. And Kevin — coming in prepared like this? That’s exactly how it should be done. 這就是我在這裡的原因。還有 Kevin——準備這麼齊全進來談?這就是該有的方式。 重點單字 Vocabulary Boost compensation/ ˌkɑːmpənˈseɪʃən / n. 薪酬總包(比 salary 專業,包含底薪+獎金+股票+福利) I’d like to discuss my compensation. (我想聊一下我的薪酬。) adjust/ əˈdʒʌst / v. 調整(比 increase 中性,留有「往上或往下」的空間,更像在討論) Can we talk about adjusting my salary? (我們能聊一下調整我的薪水嗎?) contribution/ ˌkɑːntrɪˈbjuːʃən / n. 貢獻、產出(職場專業用詞,比 “what I did” 高一個檔次) Based on my contributions this year… (基於我今年的貢獻……) market rate/ ˈmɑːrkɪt reɪt / n. 市場行情(談薪水的王牌外部依據——不是你想要,是市場這樣) Looking at market rate for my role… (看我這個職位的市場行情……) bump/ bʌmp / n. 調薪(比 raise 更口語、更柔,不會讓人覺得太貪心) I’d be looking for a bump in the ten to twelve percent range. (我希望調幅落在 10% 到 12% 之間。) make the case/ meɪk ðə keɪs / phr. 提出論證、把案子講通(職場高頻片語,等於「拿出說服力」) Help me make the case to finance. (幫我跟財務部把這個案子講通。) factor in/ ˈfæktər ɪn / phr. v. 把…納入考量(談判桌上的萬用動詞,意思是「請把這個算進去」) Could you factor that into the review? (能把這個納入考核嗎?) take it upstairs/ teɪk ɪt ˈʌpˌsterz / idiom 往上呈報、找更高層核可(公司文化專屬慣用語,畫面感很強) I’ll take it upstairs this week. (我這週會往上呈報。) hear someone out/ hɪr ˌwʌn ˈaʊt / phr. v. 耐心聽完某人說話(感謝對方願意傾聽的標準說法) Thanks for hearing me out. (謝謝你願意聽我說。) 重點句型 Sentence Patterns 1. I’d like to discuss… (我想聊一下…) 外商會議室開場第一句的標配。比 “I want to talk about” 專業,比 “Can I talk to you” 直接。 例:I’d like to discuss my compensation. (我想聊一下我的薪酬。) 💡 文化提示:千萬別開口就是 “I want a raise”。Discuss 是中性詞,把訴求降溫成「討論」,主管才不會立刻啟動防禦模式。同類替換:I’d like to bring up / I wanted to touch on。 2. I was wondering if we could… (不知道我們能不能…) 英文裡最禮貌的請求結構,過去式 “was wondering” 拉開心理距離,讓對方有空間說 no 不尷尬。 例:I was wondering if we could talk about adjusting my salary. (不知道我們能不能聊一下調薪。) 💡 文化提示:這個結構萬用——談加薪、要 WFH、推延 deadline、爭取參加會議,全部能用。重點是過去式:present tense “I wonder” 太直接,past tense “I was wondering” 才有「我已經想了很久,現在小聲問」的禮貌感。 3. Based on…, it’s a fair conversation to have. (基於…,這是個合理該談的話題) 把「我想要」翻譯成「邏輯上應該討論」。Based on 後面塞具體成就,主管就不是在評判你的需求,而是在評估你的論據。 例:Based on my contributions this year, I think it’s a fair conversation to have. (基於今年的貢獻,我覺得這是合理該討論的。) 💡 文化提示:never 說 “I deserve more”,那是情緒。”It’s a fair conversation to have” 是 calibrated humility——客氣但有底氣。主管聽到這句會自動進入「評估模式」,而不是「拒絕模式」。 4. Would you be open to…? (你願不願意…?) 問可能性,不問承諾。Open to 是談判桌上的萬用鑰匙,幾乎沒有人能用「No」乾脆回絕。 例:Would you be open to factoring that into the review? (你願不願意把這個納入考核?) 💡 文化提示:問 “Can you do X?” 等於逼對方決定。問 “Would you be open to X?” 只是測試門有沒有開。轉職、爭預算、調 timeline、要 mentor——這句永遠不失手。 5. I’d appreciate it if you could… (希望你能…,會很感激) 柔軟版的「請」。對方提出條件後,用這句反向接住請求,比 “Please do X” 高三個檔次。 例:I’d appreciate it if you could put this in writing. (希望你能整理成書面
