Overview
The best way to get what you want today is to speak up and ask for it! And remember that using diplomacy can work wonders -- be forceful with tact, and people will understand what you want without feeling attacked or pressured. Plus, you deserve this, and everyone around you knows it. If you need help figuring out exactly when and where to unveil your list of demands, ask a friend who has already been through it. They can help you avoid the pitfalls.
