Are You Kidding?

 

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young Engineer fresh out of MIT, "And what starting salary were you

looking for"?

The Engineer 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 - say, a red Corvette"?

 

The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding"?

And the interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it."
