Flow has no present day monetary value. They want you to believe “flow” has monetary value “right now” in invisible cash that is yours. Hope you realize there is no value in invisible cash.
It’s like negotiating with opportunity cost/pay.
I know it is the best choice for me, there is no comparison. Flow vs. no flow = dealbreaker for me, and a base in DFW sweetens the deal. I've tried to say this before - I am not your typical new hire, so my comments are only relevant to my personal situation.
I don't think you understand the valuation of flow. I could work for free for 8 years, and it would be worth it for me. Now, if flow goes away, I'm SOL, but that's a risk I'm willing to take. That's the personal risk acceptance I mentioned.
I don't want to start an argument about how "people like me" are "the problem" etc, but just remember, we all have our own reasons. And clearly the company way seems to be working, given that Envoy is the hardest regional seat to get right now.
There was nothing disparaging about my comments. I will start complaining about pay/benefits/work rules after I'm done with training. Pre-indoc I don't have that right. I'm just trying to show that there is another side to this argument.
Trust me - I'm not a company/management man. I just don't think it would be cool for me to complain about things I've yet to receive.
