A guy at work was complaining about our employer provided health insurance. He claimed that he couldn't afford the treatment that his son needs and that he was going to have to look for another job. He put in some applications and did a couple of interviews. All the while, our IT manager and the Program Manager were working on trying to get him hired by one of the sub-contract companies so they could keep him on the contract. He is a really smart kid and picks up on things quickly. His salary with our company was ~$70K. One of the interviews yielded a job offer paying $95K so our company countered with an offer to bump his pay up to $90K. He decided to stay on the contract since the difference was only $5K. Then the other interview came up with an offer of $115K. Last week was his last for working with us. Seems like a pretty good "feel good" story even if it is just for him and his family...
