Only if she has double Ds and a 26 inch waist.

14% of $60K is not much money 14% of $300K would move the needle.

It isnt personal but remember you are as disposable as they are to you. Thry certainly do not feel bad about moving on and neither should you

Employers that say, "Get a competing offer in writing" are dumb as hell.

If you're pushing your employee to get an offer in writing, then you're asking them to go through the hiring process. If they go through that process and get a better offer, then they would be silly not to take the offer.

At best you'll match it, or barely go over it. That just signals to them that you could have been paying them that all along, but chose not to. It's in their interest to leave and get what they deserve by someone that isn't taking advantage of them.

If you REALLY want them back, you'll double the offer.

Bruh have you seen the admin personnel available?

It's not good. You need to pony up 20% and perhaps beg

That seems a little much. I wouldn't hire someone for a top level position who had moved every 2 years

How will you survive having to get your own coffee and keeping up with your own calendar?

The horrors you have to deal with, it's amazing you were able to get out of bed this morning. Prayers sent.

Not dramatic life changing money. Basically a 14% raise.


So she now knows her worth. Match it or thank her for the 10 years.

You can't be mad at someone that wants to better their livelihood

Yeah, screw an extra few thousand dollars. How dare your assistant go to a higher paying job!



I agree jumping from a place where you have that kind of presence for a few grand is shortsighted for many positions, but when you're a career assistant with presumably no or limited track for advancement, it's a no brainer to go after every dollar.

You're probably a terrible person to work for to leave for only 14%.

They'll just go to someone who is more desperate. That's how the market is right now.

That can be life-changing money especially if someone isn't highly paid. That could be a cheap vacation, better food at the grocery store, the start of an emergency fund, the ability to get dental work, etc.
