  Class,
  Well, this is a first for me so be prepared.  If I have had a bad day dealing with my suppliers, I may not be too terribly sympathetic to any emotional pleads.  FYI, supply chain management is my day job so this can be a real possibility.  Results and quality of work weigh more than any sort of longevity argument.   
  Think about the reasons why pay raises are not granted.  Do this from the perspective of the organization.  Did the company make a profit the previous year?  Was there a loss of market share?  Is the company being driven into the ground by poor management? 
  The key factor is and will be your own performance.  Did you add value to the company?  Does your manager have to always check your work?  Are you always on time?  Etc., etc., etc. Be factual and get to the point because I have to listen to everyone in the class.  Good luck!
  Mike
