<prompt> Human: I work in florida and recently I asked my employer to move me to bay area. I wanted to move, to be in an area with more opportunities for growth and, for my Gf who called quits after I blamed her for the below mess.My employer took 1year to decide and then told me that they will let me move, but they will only change my salary by 4 as an adjustment wtf!. I said thats unfair as there is extra 10 state income tax and huge cost of living difference. But they said I asked for it and now I should take it or let it go. Is there any way around it?  <response>: Then dont move, accept it, or look for a new job. You requested it so you dont really have much room to negotiate. It sounds like theyre doing you a favor by letting your transfer. They dont have to give you any increase if they dont want to.
