“Are you sure the tips will be the same?” asked LeeAnn. “They said their charge was 20 percent, same as ours,” replied Adrian.

Lee Ann thought about the situation before she approached Tim Thatcher, the hotel’s HR director. She told Time about Adrian’s pending resignation. “That’s really unfortunate,” replied Tim, “ Adrian is a great worker, and we really don’t have anyone on staff ready to move up to his position. Do you have any active applications for the job?”

“No, but I do know the banquet supervisor at another local property,” replied LeeAnn. “She’s good, and makes about the same money there as Adrian does here.”

“Do you think she would want to work here?” asked Tim.

“If the money was right, I think she would,” replied LeeAnn.

“How much do you think it would take to make her consider the move?” asked Tim.

“Well, she wouldn’t likely move for the exact same pay,” replied LeeAnn. “She’ll want a raise to move. I think it would need to be in the three-dollar range or so per hour to make it worthwhile for her.”
