One of the things I hate doing is negotiating a salary with new hires. It's always a struggle against the new greedy employee. They want to mooch as much money as possible off me and my company while I need to make smart business decisions and minimize overhead. This is one of the reasons I prefer outsourcing. Foreign workers are just a lot cheaper than domestics ones, but I can't always understand all these blasted accents.
Fortunately, with the economy in the gutter, it's easier to find people willing to work for less (and often even to work for free as an unpaid intern!). With the surge in popularity of frugality and thriftiness, people are learning to live with less. On one blog, someone writes about how they managed to thrive financially on a $20K income. That's what I like to hear! People don't actually need as much salary as they think they do. It's entirely plausible to live on a below average salary because the average worker salary is just far too high. If we can lower employee wages, businesses can lower their costs and re-invest in corporate growth more effectively.
