fuck everything about today except the e-mail in my inbox this morning asking for my salary requirements. actually fuck that too because I don't know what my answer is.

should my answer be a scant few hundred dollars more than what I make for my current employer as of the february 26 2007 pay period or should it be nine thousand dollars more than that?

how do regular people go about this? last time I answered this question I aimed high and lost the job to a colleague.

I see the Wankette as a blogging male Holly Golightly, he needs a female, square jawed George Peppard in his life.

add 25-40% to your current salary seems to be the done thing.

DOLLAR SIGN

adding 25% to my current rate would make my salary requirements equivalent to about 61K GBP Ed

― TOMB07 (trm), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 14:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Tombot I suggest giving a range. Like, pick the first number of the range and say something to the effect of "my salary requirements are in the 35k range." Not that I would recommend working for 35k.

tom at what point last night did i e-mail ALL of your friends that i was going to fuck rachael ray??? wtf!

I disdain the range concept because I did that the first job opportunity I got out of the USAF and they just picked the lowest number in the range and sent me an offer. I didn't know how to call them back and say "wtf brohonks this ain't what I meant" so I just hated my life until another division of LM gave me the chance to be part of this shining moment in outsourcing mismanagement

― TOMB07 (trm), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 14:41 (seventeen years ago) link

hey baby, where did you learn to dance?
BROOKLYN

Then pick 30%. If you are going through a recruitment consultant then they will tell you if you are being pie in the sky.

If they want you give them something to negotiate down from. Also, surely it will depend on where they want you to work from?

When Tom gets his 12ft lizzard salary he can employ me as a butler.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 14:59 (seventeen years ago) link

also at some point last night ("some point" = 2:29 a.m.") i texted ZR something totally uncool and i just want to say now, on the record, for everyone to see, that he is a bro among men and if i ever have a son i want him to grow up to me JUST LIKE HIM except not not that tall because i want to be able to keep my son in check.

― a_p (a_p), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 14:59 (seventeen years ago) link

oh man i will pay you all of my salary for you to be my butler, ed

hey, i want to quit this stupid job, can i get in on this? does anyone need like a kitten wrangler or something? like if you're feeling stressed or shitty i show up with kitties and then you feel better? that would be worth a salary right?

― chicago kevin, it is said, never gives up his dead (chicago kevin), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 15:02 (seventeen years ago) link

kevin if you want to come by and teach my cat how to forget his great idea to take qtips all out of the bathroom and put them in the laundry room, i'll pay you something at least.

― Allyzay heard you got beat up in a club. (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 15:03 (seventeen years ago) link

all alex said was "you are a dick." i responded "file under: correct." ain't no apology necessary, broski!

― ZR (teenagequiet), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 15:04 (seventeen years ago) link

― a_p (a_p), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 15:07 (seventeen years ago) link

sorry ally, if anything i'd probably be swayed by your cat and pick up some bad habits. with my opposable thumb you'd probably wind up with a shit-ton MORE q-tips in the laundry room.

― chicago kevin, it is said, never gives up his dead (chicago kevin), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 15:09 (seventeen years ago) link
