The young accounting graduate, fresh out of uni and knowing everything, applied for his first job. The prospective employer asked him what starting salary he was looking for. Oh, around $100,000 a year, depending on the benefits package. Well, how does this sound? Five weeks annual leave, 22.5% superannuation, paid expenses to overseas conferences every year, home telephone reimbursed and a company car replaced every 20,000 kilometres, say a Mercedes convertible. The graduate sat up straight and tried not to look excited. Wow. Are you kidding? Yeah. But you started it.
