Damn, I really hate to get back into this fray with 'happyroach', but I have to respond to his drivel.....
'happyroach' said, "I bet the high paid worker get most or all of his expenses paid for (reimbursed), and the $12 an hour worker has to pay their own moving expenses AND the costs of breaking their leases!"
Of course he is correct (this time!). But his statement is so obvious that it is laughable!
Let's see.... as Mr. Employer, "I have to fill TWO positions in that 'branch office', one being the manager and the other being the mail-clerk. I have an 'extra' $100,000-per-year Executive here at the home office... she is fully qualified to be the branch manager down there.... and she really deserves the promotion. If I want her to relocate, I will go ahead and pay her expenses. Now, lets look at that mail-clerk job... I have an extra $7.00-an-hour clerk here, but it is really an 'unskilled' job. I can probably hire a local down there. But, wait, old 'happyroach' has said that he would like to live there. I will go ahead and offer him THAT job, but it really doesn't warrant my paying him to relocate AND to get out of his lease. Guess he will just have to keep pestering those folks over there at FreeAdvice.com during his breaks!! Oh well, that is just Business Economics 101!!"
[And, yes, I have also had paid relocation....]
