Look for a job that pays higher and go there. Easiest way to get a raise unfortunately.

I got a near 70% raise on an already good salary with just 12 months of experience fresh out of school. Took several rounds of negotiations but worked out just fine.

Just present the manager/CEO with a list of your significant tasks/developments/achievements/responsibilities. Bring offers from other companies, don't accept the first offer. Always consider the secondary benefits.

Let us know how it went.

This is OP's (former) supervisor. I would like to re-iterate this point for the benefit of any other would-be revolutionaries. We in management do not appreciate insubordination and conspiracy, particularly on company time. OP will have plenty of time to search for his raise on someone else's dollar.

What has worked best for me is to use the word “flabbergasted” a lot during the conversation. It has quite a few things going for it:
- 4 syllables makes it a big word
- using big words = smart person
- it is a very classy word
- people don’t hear it often so doesn’t carry the buzzword context
- it is fun to say
- very versatile word

So it would like this for me:
>thank you Jim for taking time to see me today. Really, I’m flabbergasted.
>I know your time is valuable so I’ll flabbergast you by cutting right to the point
>Jim, like you, I have a bunch of kids
>I need money Jim
>Yesterday I was flabbergasted to find a $0 balance in my checking account
>the only way this could happen is you don’t pay me enough Jim.
>Jim, let’s both agree to be flabbergasted here and go with say 25% increase
>flabbergasting to meet with you today Jim, totally flabbergasted here as I’m sure you can tell as smart as you are.
>Jim, have a flabbergasting day Jim

Also of note I use the other party’s name a lot. People love it when you connect with them that way it really helps.

I always just text or email my boss. It's so much easier
