It's not just about one person getting a 14% raise. We can't blow up the firm's salary structure for one person.
Well fortunately you don't have to give the remaining folks a raise now. This seems to be a cost effective way to run the company.

frick my life. frick relationships. It's all about the Hamiltons. From now on I am treating everyone as chattel.
If she is THAT good of an assistant, then why does another company of potential strangers value her more than you do?
quote:How big is your company? In literal terms, what would happen to your company if you matched it that would make the company go under or whatever?
Basically a 14% raise. I could probably come up with something to offer her, but I can't match it.

You should be happy your assistant wants to do better for herself and her family than she can do with your firm.

You valued this person at a specific number yet you blame them for seeking their worth.

And if it's not that you don't value her that much, it's that your company isn't financially well enough to pay her like the other one, then of course she should jump ship and go to the more successful company, and if you were a good boss that actually did value her and not just what she did for you, you would have been telling her to do that before she sprung it on you.

Congrats on having to pay 20% more to find her replacement!

I would think 14% is more important for someone who is making assistant money.
Right, my point being that as you earn more, that 14% becomes a much higher number. Most high earners with large estates/wealth didn't attain that level by scoffing at 100k.
Maybe I am just a poor. But 100k of a $1,000,000 salary would mean just about as much to me as 6k of a $60k salary. I can go to Europe for four months on 100k same as the assistant can take her family on a long weekend to Disney for 6k.

14% of $60K is not much money 14% of $300K would move the needle.
When you make $60k, jumping to $68,400 IS a good amount of money.
Jumping $8400 at $300k doesn't move the needle.

Yeah this. That $700 a month or so will pay a car note and another bill.

No, but $42,000/14% does. Or at least it should.

14% is 14%. The fact that OP didn't think to give her anything until it was too late, and now can't afford to keep her, says a lot more about him/his organization than it does about the person leaving. Probably could've kept her for 7-8% if he had offered before she started looking

Employees are like groceries, they all have an expiration date. Even the good ones will get complacent and need to be replaced with a fresh one.
