Great article on I Will Teach You To Be Rich on getting what you asked for:

Companies don’t care about spending money on their employees as much as you think. As I wrote in Don’t Quit Without Asking For What You Want,

One of my friends, for example, was unhappy about
having to pay the toll every day for her commute–a very understandable
complaint. But she didn’t tell her boss about this, who I guarantee
would have moved heaven and earth if he’d known an employee was close
to leaving. $6.00 per day is nothing to companies.

That’s a simple example. But there’s more. See, companies don’t care as much about spending money as they care about getting things done and making more money–much, much more than could be saved by being stingy with you.
