Most people negotiate their job terms exactly once: at the offer stage. Then never again. (Wild, right?)

But you’re not the new hire anymore. You’ve proven you deliver. You know the systems. You know the people. If you want more time for the life you’re building outside of work, you don’t have to choose between staying put and quitting. You just have to ask the right way.

Inside:

• 7 flexibility asks to choose from: a 4-day week, a shifted schedule, work-from-home days, a long lunch for school pickup, and more

• A 3-part fill-in-the-blank script that leads with your wins, frames the ask as a win for your team and makes it a low-risk 30-day trial

• What to say if your boss hesitates, so a “hmm” doesn’t turn into a “no”

• Your back-pocket success measures, so saying yes is easy

You’ll walk away with your ask filled in and ready to say out loud. Tomorrow, if you want.

As the old saying goes, you don’t get what you don’t ask for.
