May I ask why?

After pressing send I walk over to the fridge and pull out Caesar’s nightly snack. He’s happily licking his bowl when I hear my email chime.

Dear Mr. Antonov,
It was nice to meet you as well. And I do think I would be fit for Nikotech as well.
But I am not standard, and neither is my work performance. And my grandma always said that when you’re good at something, you should never accept less than your worth.
Which is why I cannot accept your standard offer.
However, I would accept your offer, if the amount was increased to $75,000, and the title changed from “Secretary” to “Executive Assistant.”
Sincerely,
Abigail Wayne
I chuckle to myself.
Alright, Miss Wayne, I gotta hand it to you. That’s ballsy.

Miss Wayne,
After consideration, I have attached a new offer letter, reflecting a salary of $75,000.
I look forward to seeing the “above standard” work performance of my new Executive Assistant at 8:00am on Monday.
Roman Antonov.
CEO of Nikotech Investments.
