<prompt> Human: Im currently working as a shift supervisor at a major drug store chain. Im currently getting paid about 14.00 an hour. since minimum wage went up to 12.00, Im only making about 1.50 an hour more then most cashiers for literally 10x the responsibilities and workload. I love the culture of my company and have a great work environment but Im tired of being underpaid for the work I do. Corporate has made it clear that regardless of the minimum wage increase, there will NOT be any cost of living raises for anyone in management. I want to start looking for other employment but Im worried that my only reason for leaving is purely money. Whats the best way to word this when interviewing with potential employers? Is it frowned upon to say your motive for moving is bad pay? Assistant: Dont be afraid to tell your boss you need more to stay there. We all work because we want money, if they want to pretend that isnt the case then you should get out of there.But Id make your voice heard, tell them your pay to workload ratio is out of whack. If you are refused, keep your head down while you look for a new gig. When you find something, put in your 2 weeks and tell them exactly why you are leaving them. Who knows, maybe youll have some leverage.You know what youre worth. Dont settle for less. You owe nothing to these people and everything to yourself.Human: I agree with you 100. Unfortunately, my store manager doesnt have the ability to give raises. Its all mandated by corporate. My position use to pay 18 and then corporate restructured and re-labeled my position as a way to cut the hourly pay down drastically. They have shown they really dont care about compensation equal to the workload. Ive realized at this point, my pay is limited with this company. My main concern is when I interview with other employers and tell them the only reason Im leaving is because the pay is bad. Im looking for the best way to word that. Thanks for the advice.  <response>: There is nothing wrong with leaving because youre being payed too little.Just say, youre unsatisfied with your current employer and looking for new opportunities.Pay negotiation comes later. At that point you should have decided on a number and stick to it.
