And if I lived in the US, where my daily internet activity would be considered a felony, I would consider it a grave injustice that I had to pay more than companies' cost +10% for the internet service. As it stands, I don't pay for the TV s

So imagine how far ahead a company would be if they were first with a fairly priced product. I believe that this is why price is not a competitive advantage and you need more substance to beat out your competition.

> More generally, it's like this. You can argue all day about "good" and "evil", but what people respond to are incentives. 100% agree, but incentives and benevolence are not necessarily exclusive of each other. An acquaitance wrote a t

Great post. But, like all good rebels, I do believe that the cooler heads will prevail and that we will not have to surrender. For the past year, I have been touting that the future of business is benevolence. We are too smart and too sav

Thanks. That's very interesting. I guess it's the same as something that we call 'stock options'. You are granted a right to buy stock for the price it would be when one starts working, but you can't really sell them or cash them until t

Can someone explain why are different stock types in the states taxed at different rates? What is the logic behind classification of some stocks as income and some as capital assets? I am quite knowledgeable in finance, but am Canadian and

Asian women may choose to do it. I don't. At any rate, it is a choice of a mother. Not yours. So, I respoectfully request that you get over it, or look the other way. Cause it is not going away.

I am not sure it is as simple as her friend's flagging it as inappropriate. If someone was that offended by her posting breastfeeding pictures, they could just hide her newsfeed or unsubscribe from her. I am a breastfeeding mother who live

Excellent. Now I no longer have to cart MikeTex Portable on my keychain. Since I work on multiple computers with files from my DB, this will be great. Thanks.

I am sorry, but as a happy female graduate of what is quite possibly the least 'feminine' major (metallurgical engineering) I couldn't disagree with you more. You seem to be purportaing the very issue you are trying to avoid. Sure, I had p

Some good points, though some of the biggest companies have proven you wrong. Google, for example, messed with spelling, used word which has nothing to do with search engines and yet, it is nowadays one of the most recognized companies in t

Educating the public will be hard as well. People lobby the government on behalf of sugar companies. Stevia, a low calory, low GI sugar substitute was unavailable in the US until very recently because the sugar companies lobbied the FDA to

Putting a 'Please use this door' on a door that is open is redundant. That is why people 'believed' that the sign said 'Please use other door.' If you were in front of the door that is open, why say 'Please use this door.' They will. You

I second that. Meetups begat meetups and leads begat leads, you can contribute things to the conversation and show your experise (your oral portfolio). That is how I look for developers. Things will fall into place. You just have to ge

Pulling all stops and going above and beyond is what I would expect. I would also expect you to slow down the effort after the trial period. However, if you prove with all the stops that you are worthy of the premium, I will know what yo

The fact that salaries in the 60-80k range come to mind in discussing compensation suggests that your company does not attract good talent and so the discussion of top of market doesn't apply to you. Numbers I used do not reflect the sala

You're right. And for that individual, he was probably not interested in the negotiating game. However, if you were convinced that he was indeed just trying to keep his cost of living, if I were in your shoes, I would have put my foot dow

Exceptions are always possible. If you can make the arguement that it is the case, then by all means. That would be the point of negotiation. If I call you on a discrepancy and you have a proof that you have specific expertise that are w

It is already factored into the market avg. Original poster said top , not average. To illustrate my point, I will give you an example. Let's say market range for a position is 60K - 80K. To me, that means that the best people are getti

That means that your work has to be the top of the market. It is impossible for that to be true of everyone. Therefore, 90-95% of the people that employ the strategy will be out to lunch and that just may be enough for me to walk away fro

It's not always just about the savings. While it may not be the tactic that yields different result than just straight shooting, the concept of negotiation teaches you about the person and the way they deal with controversy and conflict.
