<prompt> Human: So this is going to be somewhat longwinded but I appreciate any advice you guys have to give. At 16 I started working at an ice cream shop as a regular employee. I was making minimum at the time was I believe 6-7 Florida. Within a year and a half later I was promoted to general manager making 11.00hr. I had no experience and wasnt really trained the GM before me was fired on the spot so I just learned as I went. My GM position was during my senior year of high school and I was working 40 hours a week on top of school. I was working events, making bankstore runs, creating schedules on top off all in store work. I was never compensated for gas when running errands for the job, was never given any benefits or holiday bonuses and was never given another raise. I gave my all at this job and turned the store from way in the red to breaking even, all with no professional managerial experience and very little guidance. A year or so into my employment as GM relations with the franchise owner started going south, he opened more businesses and stopped coming by the shop or answering my textscalls leaving me in the dark when I needed help. I decided I was either going to need to make more money or quit so I asked him for a raise. He shot me down so I gave him my 2 week notice. He refused to give me a good recommendation after I quit because I didnt hire a new GM in my place I was never asked to do this. After I quit corporate stepped in and took away his franchise leaving him as a silent partner. Since I quit I have been contacted 3 times by the owners of the company that my boss franchised from wanting me to come back, apologizing for the way I was treated. It had never been something I considered until now. They contacted me the other day saying they have a new GM position they want me to fill 30 miles away from my home. I am a full-time college student and still live with my parents so I wont be relocating, leaving me to make the 60 mile roundtrip drive 4-5 days a week. They are offering 12hr for 40hrs a week with up to 10 hours of overtime if I want, 30 a week for gas and profit sharing at 11 not too familiar with this. Im currently working at a bakery making minimum wage so this offer sounds very appealing to me. However, I dont want to sell myself short by accepting but also dont want to counter and they revoke their offer as a better paying job is really needed with paying for college etc Im kind of desperate but they dont know that lol. I feel like I have an advantage because they obviously like me enough to keep trying to get me to work for them, but I also feel like they wont offer me anymore than they already have. I dont want to be taken advantage of but like I said I could really use the job. Should I accept the offer outright or ask for more? Am I being greedy?Thank you for your input.Assistant: You are valuable to them, that is clear, and obvious. Therefore, you are worth more than 12hour. I would politely ask for 15hour and see whether they come back with something like 14hour. I doubt that a polite request from you will lead to a sudden complete loss of interest by them. Human: I think Im just going to go for it and ask. Im just so nervous about leaving a bad taste in their mouth by asking for more, I dont want to start off on that kind of a note.  <response>: Its a normal negotiation. Youll do more of those during your working life, better to get some experience with it now. They really really want you to work for them, thats to your advantage. And Im sure that theyll still profit from your work, youre worth 15hour and probably even more.
