I understand exactly what you mean by "paying your dues". I just don't think that should factor into how much a company pays you.Clyde said:Obviously, you have no concept of paying your dues. You also missed the whole point. I don't believe in selling the candy store to make an extra buck. However, if the company is healthy and able to pay the wage, than they should pay it. Why sell yourself short?
Why sell yourself short? Put another way, why not expect your company to pay you the maximum amount possible? Like I said, the company is interested in making money, not necessarily making you a happy camper. Put yourself in the shoes of a CEO .. do you spend $150 million to boost your employees salaries 10% beyond an already high level, or do you invest the money into capital? If you're in business to make money, I think we all know what the answer is. If the employees are truly worth that extra 10%, in order to compete with other labor consumers, you will have to match their demands. However, in the world of unions, the demands of the labor group may be (and generally are) out of synch with their true market value.
