work for Numbers. When Jack’s boss heard this he called him in and said, “If you
agree to stay with us for at least five years, I promise that next year you will
receive a promotion with a 50% raise, and a 5- year contract.” Jack turned down
the offer and stayed with Readum. Nine months later Jack was dismissed due to
