Teddy Fields is the Kitchen Manager at the Tanron Corporation International Headquarters. The facility he helps manage serves 3000 employees per day. Teddy very much needs an additional dishwasher, and is interviewing Wayne, an excellent candidate with 5 years experience who is now washing dishes at the Roadway restaurant. Teddy normally starts his dishwashers at $12.00 per hour. Wayne states that he makes $13.00 per hour, a rate that is higher than all but one of Teddy’s current dishwashers. Wayne states that he would not leave his current job to take a “pay-cut”. Should Teddy offer to hire Wayne at a rate higher than most of his current employees? Why or why not?
