I work in a small town where good jobs are kinda hard to come by, I actually get a semi-decent rate of pay (whatever that means) to manage a store.
We have had a hard time attracting any applicants to an assistant manager role, that I have been covering, as well as my own full-time duties.
Now my boss tells me we have an applicant (yay!) but they are asking almost double my rate! I’m sure there will be a negotiation but the rate is so high it’s hard to imagine them settling on anything lower than my rate.
I need to have a conversation with my boss but not sure what my approach should be…
