I&#x27;ve run into this argument in the past. It also happens when you&#x27;re already on the job.<p>Company: &quot;We can&#x27;t possibly give you a raise! &#x27;The book&#x27; says we can only pay you this much and no more.&quot;<p>Me: Uhh, ok...<p>[A few months later]<p>Me: Well, bye!<p>Company: OMFG WHAT COULD WE HAVE DONE TO RETAIN YOU???
