I am curious how many people here have actually asked their boss for a raise and gotten one?

If you look at my first post then you will see the best way in asking for a raise (especially if you work for a shit company).  Find another job that pays more then go to current employer and ask them to match the offer from new job you were accepted at.  If they don't give you raise then leave for higher paying job.

At that point (especially if you work for a shit company), why wouldn't you just take the offer at the new company?  

Maybe it is just semantics, but I was taught not to ask for a raise, but to ask for a transfer or assignment to another role that pays better.  If your boss thinks you are not qualified for that new role, you ask what training is available or what experience is required to get that new role.
