Long time ago, I had some coworkers:
A - Manager of education group (2 subordinates)
B - Senior subordinate
C - Junior subordinate
C obtains another job offer for significantly higher pay.
C tells A and asks company to match the salary.
A asks boss, boss says 'no'.
A tells C, C submits resignation.
Next day, boss tells A that they will match the salary.
A tells C.
C says 'no' (too late!), and tells B how much they offered her.
B is annoyed, because it's more than B makes. In fact, A is annoyed also, because it's more than A makes.
B demands the higher salary and gets it. And A gets an even higher salary as well.
Gosh, that worked well for the company :-) |
