Mike was a 37 year-old married father of four. His wife, a teacher, has been out of work for two years now, leaving Mike as the lone bread-winner in the family. He is currently employed in the management field earning $45,000 / year. Mike is proud of his salary, enjoys his co-workers, and is challenged by increased responsibility at his job. He is only dissatisfied with one aspect of his job: it does not provide benefits. Despite the many enjoyable dimensions of Mike's work, he has tendered his resignation and is currently in a negotiation session with a 22 year-old HR manager. The organization has a cafeteria style benefits plan and the HR manager has offered Mike a starting salary of $50,000, a corner office, a prime parking spot and five weeks of vacation. But still, no benefits. Mike declines. The HR manger (confused and bewildered) counters with a position that requires Mike to work occasional nights and week-ends, a $44,000 annual salary, no parking spot, no corner office, and only one week vacation. And health insurance. Mike accepts.
