Debating on accepting lead driver position
So right now I make 8 dollars both in store and on the road. Our lead driver position has been vacant for months now and our district manger person recommended to the gm that I become the lead driver for 10 an hour with a possible pay bump in January to 11 if it’s going well. All the other drivers in the store already look to me as the lead driver. The owner came back and offered 9 with the possibility of a pay bump in January if it’s going well. I’ve drawn a line in the sand in my head where I want 10 in order to take on the responsibility. Now that I’m only being offered 9 I’m reluctant to take the position. I’m looking for advice on the situation.
Edit: here are the duties I’ll be taking on. Training new drivers, interviewing and hiring new drivers, checking them out at the end of the day, assigning chores and making sure they get done, dealing with any conflict that arises, covering driver shifts if someone is not able to show up, and assigning doubles during a rush.
