[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IDGAF is same conversation I had with a young 44 year old staff member two months ago in a similar situation.

He was pushy pushy pushy and resigned with a 30 percent raise. He even asked us to counter.

HR just said we give it to him everyone will want it and if we promote him he is jumping the line. HR said tell him good luck and always welcomed back.

She then said he’ll be back. I got like 30-50 of them back they leave between 30-44 for high pay, get laid off 52- 62 and come beck hear begging for old job back.

She has a point. I told the 44 kid see you at 60!

Cool story. Where do you work that you take people back at age 60 after being away for 15 years?

44 isn't exactly young. That's middle aged. Probably has a few kids to educate and college bills looming. No wonder he feels frantic to make the most of his earning potential. [b]The dynamics of corporate America is that it's easier to hire someone at a higher salary than to give existing employees big raises because you only have to hire that one employee as opposed to giving everyone raises and promotions.[/b][/quote]

Great f#cking point. It’s the same for federal government too, ironically enough. The best and usually only time to negotiate and get what you want is when you get the job offer. They can get more than everyone else. Then you’re stuck for 2-4 years. So reach for brass ring early. [/quote]
