Did you try to negotiate, or did you just assume? I've been given "take or leave it deals", walked away, and had them come running out after me as I was getting in my car.
(Of course, I knew what I was asking for was perfectly reasonable, too.)
- learc83 8y agoI asked. Also I was a supervisor later on and did plenty of hiring myself. The store level employees you are interacting with have no authority to change anything--there isn't even a process in place to contact someone with the authority to make changes.
- skookumchuck 8y agoThen walk away if you don't like the deal. You don't need the nanny government. Nobody obliges you to work for X.
- learc83 8y agoSo instead of acknowledging the limitations of your advice, you decided to respond to a completely different argument that I didn't even make?
- skookumchuck 8y agoThe whole point of negotiating is to be willing to walk away if the other side doesn't agree.
- learc83 8y agoThat's the problem. Many low skilled employees aren't in a position to walk away from an employment offer. Do you think that there should be any limit on the duration and scope of non-compete clauses?
- skookumchuck 8y agoThere is no one-size-fits-all limit. People vary widely, and a government bludgeon is hardly going to work for most people.
