Anyone want to weigh in on this situation? I am currently in salary
negotiations with my employer. This is a temp to perm position. I
have been here for awhile and they have made me an offer for a
permanent position. My first salary request was kind of high - I knew
I would never get it, but it never hurts to ask! So they make me an
offer that was $10K lower than that request - which is about what I'm
making with the temp agency. I asked them if they could up that offer
to another $3000 to help offset the high insurance premiums they
have. You'd think I was asking for double the salary or something!
They seemed stunned that I even asked! I have gone way above and
beyond to deliver on several projects since I've been here. They have
a high turnover rate. I'd like to stay - but come on! My request is
only about a dollar more than what the temp agency is paying me--
cheap ass bastards!
They are supposed to let me know today-- I really wish I was in the
postion to tell them to shove thier offer if they tell me they can't
meet my request. I just can't support my family on what they
offered. I'd have to get a part time job and I am so sick of working
two jobs!
