You think that way because they’ve taught you to think that way. Instead, you should be very plain about your pay expectations. If someone starts getting on your case for being “pay motivated” or some other horseshit HR wageyganda idea, here’s what you say.
“I hear what you’re saying, and certainly the main drivers in my career goals are broadening my skillset and achieving excellence. However, my life and family goals operate in a capitalist society reliant on me growing my compensation year over year. If this job is unprepared to meet my life goals, then let’s be explicit about that so I can reevaluate my plan for my household and decide whether this position is a fit.”

? We are all in it for the money. How is that being a trouble maker? Money is a motivator and should be used to incentivize performance.

It’s completely bizarre how we live in a capitalist society and yet we’re supposed to be motivated by work culture work.
It’s like they think that capitalism only applies to them.

Hey OP, we need to know where this is from (so they don’t get away with this shit)

Even if a Ferangi wouldn’t pull this crap, at least they’re honest about their motivations and don’t expect other people to be motivated by anything other than money either.
If we could all just admit that life would be a lot easier and we wouldn’t have to put up with HR wankery. In fact we could probably get rid of the HR department because we all know they essentially just exist to try and keep the employees in line, and stop them forming unions, but if we just got paid more then they wouldn’t be necessary.
