So, I was browsing Indeed today, as I normally do a couple times a week to see if there's anything interesting or worth applying for. I come across a newly listed ad for Subway- Sandwich Artist, which is where I work currently. The ad includes a wage that is $3 more an hour then what I am making now and I honestly feel insulted.
I'm not super 100% happy here at Subway for multiple reasons but I haven't had many call backs when I apply to other places– or if I do get a call back and an interview there's so many red flags that I don't accept the position.
So I guess what I'm asking for advice on is how to approach my boss, or the owner, or both, about this ad listing I saw and whether or not its worth it to ask to have my wage increased to match new hires. I was pondering the up front “Hey, I saw you're listing on Indeed and I noticed that you're paying new hires $3 more an hour then what I'm making– are there any plans to increase current workers wages to keep them here or should I start looking for another job?”
