This company - employee "card game" reminds me always the movie Good Will Hunting. Where every company knows, that Will Hunting is talented and worth his knowledge a lot, and it is also recommended to him, to have some introduction speeches in different companies. One day Will sends (or asks) his non-talented friend to go a company, to make a introduction speech. The employer belive, that the guy who is presence is Will, and they accept every demand of him:
- Employer: "I not exactly understand what you mean, we already offered you a position."
- Will's friend: "Nobody in this town works without a retainer. You think you can find someone who does, you have my blessin'. But I think we all know that person isn't going to represent you as well as I can."
- Employer: "Will, our offer starts you at $84000 a year, plus benefits."
- Friend: "Retainer!!!!.. Retainer!".
- Employer: "You want us, give you cash right now?"
- "Whoa... I did not say that. Allegedly, your situation will be concurrently improved if I had $200 in my back pocket right now."
- Employer 1.: "I don't think I can... Larry?"
- Employer 2.: "I have about seventy-three"
- Employer 1.: "Will you take a check?"
- Will's friend: "I tell you something... you suspect. Yeah you! I know what your reputation is.. in this town. But after the sh.t try to pull today you can bet I'll be looking into you... now the bussiness we have... here to for..you could speak with my forementioned attorney. Good day gentlemen. And until that day comes, keep you head on the grind stone."
And Will's friend left the office with 73$ cash.
