The young accountancy graduate, fresh out of university and knowing everything, applied for his first job. The prospective employer asked him what starting salary he was looking for.
“Oh, around 100,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.”
“Well, how does this sound? Five weeks annual leave, 15% non contributory pension, reimbursed expenses, no questions asked, free attendance at an overseas conferences every year with your partner, home telephone reimbursed, gym membership, friday night entertainment and a company car replaced every 20,000 miles, say a Mercedes convertible.”
The graduate sat up straight and tried not to look excited. “Wow. Are you kidding?”
“Yeah. But you started it.”
