Why Not ! The Poem !

Why not, forget the mistreatment and forgive your enemy,
Why not, bury the past and work for future,
Why not, stop crying over your limitations and make best of what god gave us,
Why not, just listen to that elder once and stop bragging about new generation,
Why not, show compassion to one and all and stop spreading hatred,
Why not, read this poem once again and ponder did we ever do any one of the above.

Why not, at least smile once before you close this poem.

Let's stop asking for SALARY HISTORY. Do you agree ?

Let's stop asking for SALARY HISTORY. Do you agree?

We don't ask how much a house was worth 2 years ago. We go on current market.

We do not ask how much gold was worth 2 years ago either.

Many companies and recruiters treat people as commodities. But as wrong as that is, value of commodities are determined by conditions of the market and their true value. Not what they were worth some time ago.

We are not telling candidates how much the person last in the job was making. Telling that to candidates is as inappropriate as asking them for their current salary.

We can not tie amount of our offers to the pay practices of the previous employer either.

Let's stop treating people as commodities. And let's stop asking silly questions.

Like what the current salary is.

Furthermore, we should pay people what they deserve.

Not necessarily what they ask.

In 2008 at the bottom of the economic meltdown I hired a woman who lost her job elsewhere. She was desperate to get a job because of her mortgage, and was offering to take a pay cut.

Having been through the previous 2 recessions, I have seen that movie before. People never forget when an employer takes advantage of their desperate situation. They do not forget when you treat them well either.

Several times I made offers higher than what people asked for. It always worked well for everyone.

I am very frugal and treat company's money as my own.

That said, I simply know it is a good business practice not to take advantage of people's misfortunes.

Let's take advantage of people's strengths, not of their situations !
Do you agree ?
