Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources  Person asked a young Engineer fresh out of MIT, "And what  starting salary were you looking for?"
  The Engineer said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year,  depending on the benefits package."
  The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package  of  5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and  dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and  a company car leased every 2 years say, a red Corvette?"
  The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow!  Are you  kidding?"
  And the interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it." |
