I wouldn’t bother trying not to be offended. Unless you’re making minimum wage, $1/hr feels offensive however you slice it.
Then again, it also gives you some potential leverage. If you like the job you’re at and you’d prefer to stay if the compensation felt more fair, your boss now knows that you are willing to leave, and you now know there is some room to grow in your pay scale.
Let the games begin! If it’s worth staying, arm yourself with some real world data of what folks in your market and position are makjng and/or other employers are offering. Have a plan to potentially get more PTO in place of a salary bump that may not be in budget at this time of year.
But if you’re done with the job, now you see what you’re worth to them. Don’t burn a bridge, but consider highballing just to see how they come back. “$1/hr won’t do much for me, but $8 would keep my interest in continuing this conversation. Remember not to react- stay positive, and let it play out so that if you do part ways, both parties can do so gracefully.
