|Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked the young MBA fresh out of MIT, „And what starting salary were you looking for?“ The candidate said, „In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.“ The HR Person 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 HR Person said, „Certainly, …but you started it.“
