That will essentially cost them 10% less than they are paying you now, but they are not fearful of you going elsewhere all the time and now actually are in charge of you. Not that you should expect to actually get it, but it can't hurt to try. Use that as an opening number, and let them come back with something.
Post #265,148 by folkert 8/17/06 10:26:08 AM Reply	This is the advice I would go for. Let them think they are in the drivers seat. Is the 60% not livable? Or would you like be at 70%. I 60% is livable, then the 70% would be cake( or pie) with a really nice topping. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.
