Can't say I agree. If I'm being asked to go to Seattle or Phoenix or St Louis to work a project, money is discussed 5 minutes into the conversation. Everything I do is through a contract house, but I don't see what difference that should make. The terms of employment are crystal clear immediately, so I don't see why hiring in direct to a company should be any different. This is the job, this is the pay, take it or leave it. The way these guys are doing it is chickenshit.

I'm not in the same field but another way I have seen the "minimum" thing handled is HR asking what you are currently paid. General rule of thumb is it takes at least 20% over that to pry you away is you are happy with your current job.

Because employers want employees who want to work for their company and not just a paycheck so when a job comes along that pays a little bit more they're not out the extensive money it takes to train someone.

That sounds good from the employer aspect but that's it. It's a two-way street. Here is my minimum I am asking. If you can't meet that then everything else is moot because as much as I may like your company, I have bills I have to pay.

A better way to accomplish that is by not treating the employees like garbage once they start working for them.

I'm not saying that there is not a time to talk about the money. What I am saying is the initial contact is not that time. That being said, they offered you something. Counter their offer, explain why you are worth more, fight for your 10%. Show them that you want to be part of their company and why you are worth the added investment. The real question is are you asking for a reasonable wage? If so explain sol IMO, that conversation could tell you a whole lot about the company you desire to work for. |
