If it is important to you and you really want it, then bring it to your boss’ attention. Here are 8 steps you can take to get your requests granted at work.

How to Succeed at Getting What You Want at Work

1. Think through your request. Spend some time planning and/or writing what you will say, how you will say it and any anticipated reactions (positive or negative) to your request.
2. Describe the WIFT (What’s In It for Them). Articulate the value of your desired outcome, any benefits that will result, mistakes that will be avoided, or money that will be saved by granting your request.
3. Be prepared with at least one viable alternative. You should have at least two possible ways your request can be granted—the most desirable solution, and another solution that you could accept. Only offer your alternative solution if it is clear that your original request will not be granted.
4. Choose constructive and affirmative words to make your request. When asking for something at work, most people tend to start their sentences with negative phrase followed by a but and finally ending with the request. In almost every instance where this is done, the request is not granted.
5. Make your request simple, concise and direct. Simple to grant, brief and to the point, sincere and straightforward.

Avoid making a request when a major deadline is due or you’ve just made a mistake. Watch your personal timing as well. Steer clear of those times when you are feeling low or overly excited.
7. Select the right person to grant your request. Make sure that you ask the right person--the one who has the authority to give you wh

Once a decision is made, if it is not your desired outcome, you should accept it and refrain from whining and complaining. As you do this, you demonstrate professional maturity--a very attractive competency indeed!
