Engineer's job package
Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources person asked the hot-shot young Engineer, fresh out of MIT, 'And what starting salary were you looking for?'
The engineer cooly said, 'In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.'
The interviewer said, 'Well, what would you say to a package of 5 weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years - for starters, say, a red Corvette?'
The engineer tried to control his excitement, but sat straight up and said, 'Wow! Are you kidding?' .
'Yeah,' the interviewer shrugged, 'But you started it.'
Begging on Wall Street
There are three beggars begging on Wall Street.
The first beggar wrote 'Beggar' on his broken cup. He received $10.00 after one day.
The next day, the second beggar wrote 'Beggar.com' on his cup. After one day, he received hundreds of thousands of dollars and an offer to float an IPO on NASDAQ.
The following day, the third beggar wrote 'e-Beg' on his cup. Microsoft, IBM, and HP sent corporate vice-presidents to talk to him about strategic alliances and offered him free hardware consultancy.
In addition, it was reported on a TV news channel that e-Beg uses 95 per cent Oracle technology and that I2 announced the launch of BegTradeMatrix; a b2b industry portal offering supply chain integration in the beggar community.
