4030 - Long joke Sunday

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asks a young engineer fresh out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "And what starting salary are you looking for?"

The engineer replies, "In the region of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."

The interviewer inquires,
"Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks vacation,
14 paid holidays,
full medical and dental,
company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary,
and a company car leased every two years, say, a red Corvette?"

The engineer sits up straight and says, "Wow! Are you kidding?"

The interviewer replies, "Well you started it."
