I have been on the hiring end of this situation a few times. It never works out in the end when it is nickle and diming and negotiating. My best employees wanted to be here no questions asked and love it. Every single time I have had to negotiate they didn't last long before they were headed to another gig for a little more pay. People either want to be there or they don't. A few dollars one way or the other doesn't matter. Plus, it is far more about salary. There are tons of other variables many miss on. Who you are working for and with, 401k match, vacation, industry, etc...

I am not knocking anyone. Everyone has to do what is best for them financially. I just find people who come on board without a big negotiation ordeal have made better employees for me and they end up making a great money long-term.

Sweet speech but the difference here is they are after him. He did not approach them. Then THEY tell him they give him $50 a week over his current and expect him to move? There is no negotiation here on the part of the OP...they asked, he gave a price, and THEY are trying to negotiate it down.

So in sticking with you theory, he shouldn't even consider going to an employer who wants to negotiate over a few $$.

They are missing out on a solid employee that started there and wants to move back there. They even talk of him becoming upper management, yet they let him walk out for maybe an xtra $100/wk?

If you were to let someone walk because YOU were the one doing petty negotiating, what should your boss do with you?

Now they have to go out and spend many thousands on finding a guy, spend even more one training him, and possibly not be happy with his work ethic down the road and do it all over again. They know what they get with the OP who THEY approached.

Dumb management OP, be happy you aren't going
