I got a call about 2 weeks ago asking me to look ar a job offer at a competitor. Lots good about it, even a little more money up front. Long term, I am better off where I am. A work friend received a phone call from a former colleague who asked, “what would it take for me to hire X?” The former colleague wanted a specific person for her job and hired him from a competitor. The client rep for one of my vendors moved on. His supervisor temporarily took over. The supervisor called up and hired my account executive for another vendor product.
People are calling up known entities and asking them to apply/move to their business. So long as there are no non compete clauses, there is a lot of fair game.

We have sons, nephews, nieces and DIL’s getting job offers or pay increases to stay.
One DIL has run a small dance class 3 days a week for years. She just got an offer she couldn’t turn down. Two students in her dance class started a small clothing store part time, and they offered her a 3 day a week job paying her for eight hours for 5 hours. She was a regional manager for a big chain clothing store before her first child was born.
Her college son, when he is home for holidays has two places that he works.
Her college age daughter works for a premium dept store in their online division. That company laid off a dozen + people in her department after Christmas eve. She got a bonus and will work 2+ weeks until she returns to college. She was back to work the day after Christmas. The store has great clothes and gives employees like her excellent discounts. She will be able to buy civilian dress clothes for the spring/summer time with the discounts and $’s paid to her during this time. They have asked her to come back during her spring break, and she will. I kidded her to ask for them to pay her flight round trip to/from the east coast. She was amazed when they said that was possible.
Smart and good workers are at a premium now.
