Starting off we can only offer you x but we will get you a bump in pay ASAP!

yep, worked for a plant contractor for 6 months for dog crap, then got a tiny bump of 1.50 and was pissed(not eligible for 1 year for another bump). They were offended that I wasn't grateful. A month later I put in my notice, and switched to a competitor($3/raise). 30 days later, my original employer lost the contract because the supervisor was exposed for fabricating compliance docs(which I told them was happening and they did nothing..initially). 90 days later they re-hired me to be supervisor at an additional $4.5/raise + company car.

So in 120 days they went from 1.50 is a great bump for someone with so little experience to if we pay you an extra $7.50 will you please come back, we will even throw in a car.
