answer: #Person2# wants a raise because #Person2# has worked long and well. #Person2# thinks other people earn more because there're new cars around but #Person1# says those are company cars and it's hard to get a raise.
documents: #Person1#: So, tell me, what makes you think we should give you a raise?
  #Person2#: I've got several good reasons. I've been here several years, my work has proven to be good, and I've noticed that people in comparable jobs get paid more than I do.
  #Person1#: Salaries are confidential, how do you know how much money these ' other people ' make?
  #Person2#: Well, I've noticed all the new cars around here, for one thing.
  #Person1#: Those are company cars provided to the sales staff for their business trips. Also, some employees receive sales commissions. So good salesmen will naturally earn more.
  #Person2#: That's understandable. Well, rather than comparing my salary with someone else's, perhaps we could talk about my job performance. Surely you've noticed the extra hours I've put in recently?
  #Person1#: I see your point. However, it might be hard to get a raise approved. Profits were down last quarter, and the whole company is tightening its belt, so anything that affects the annual budget
  #Person2#: That would be very good of you, Mr. White.
