I negotiated it based on my performance and reports from those I formerly did work for. I discovered something pretty simple that seems to elude several of you posting to this thread. Employers will gladly pay someone for any exceptional value they bring to the job. When that work is sitting there while a machine makes widgets and occasionally hauling away the finished product and filling the blanks bin, then there's no exceptional value the employee is able to bring to the job. There's a Marxist-socialist undercurrent in this discussion which seems to want to equate the value of all work and all workers. It never works that way unless artificial controls are imposed. > If you say 'nobody' you're a fool. I helped me get the wages I received.
