Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked the young MBA fresh out of MIT, 'what starting salary were you looking for?' The candidate said, 'In the neighborhood of $130,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.' The HR Person said, 'Well, what would you say to a package of 6-weeks vacation, 13 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.'
