<prompt> Human: I work as a nurse for a large non-union hospital system in a Per Diem position. I make about 7 more per hour than other employees because I dont receive any benefits. Ive been there for a year. I have another full time job. During my annual employee review I talked with my manager and she told me that Per Diem employees dont get pay raises. She even called some other higher up while I was in her office and asked that person on the phone, well then how do I incentivize them to stay or do better? She got some sort of non-answer. So should I just quit? How could I say if thats the case Ill be looking to leave this job unless we can negotiate without it being a threat or whatever youd call that. Thanks in advance.  <response>: Doesnt sound like a circumstance where you should threaten to leave, nor does it necessarily sound like your manager has any power there. Start looking for something else. You can try to leverage the new offer if you want to stay, but have to be prepared to walk.
