If this is a request from an unresponsible, unmotivated employee, the company's response should be both sincere and firm. The following is an example of a possible in-depth response: Dear Staff, Thank you for your interest and feedback on the company. While we understand your request for a salary increase, we must maintain a clear understanding of the difficulties and challenges we face. Yes, the company is currently under some economic pressure, but we are not going to stop there. Instead, we are considering a range of measures to optimize our operations to better meet customer needs and provide more valuable development opportunities for our employees. Although we have limited time and resources, we place a strong focus on the development and well-being of our employees. We believe that employees who take responsibility and perform well are better recognized and compensated. We encourage you to remain optimistic about the company and your future, and continue to work hard to improve your skills and influence. Finally, we hope that you understand the company's position and plans, and that you can work hand in hand with us to achieve our common goals. If you have any better suggestions or comments, we'd love to hear from you too. Sincerely thank you for your support and trust in the company. Company leaders
