That was because, you know, I was actually coaching behind the scenes to help him because I really wanted to keep them.

And I wanted to drive the Amazon corporate machine to make an offer to match Meta.

We lost a lot of people to Meta because they out paid us at that time.

But what he didn't understand was any idea that was available.

You know, he thought like, oh, there's no way Amazon will ever match this offer from Meta to double this pay.

it was right there.

So I think people don't realize what's possible under the right conditions.

So it was worse, probably.

Well, so two things there, if I can point them out.

First, what you said, if I can paraphrase, is we as the management should have been on top of that.

So she was waiting for you to do what should have happened, but it didn't happen.

So she just left.

That's the mistake is she wasn't asking.

Second thing is just statistically 70% of employees never ask for a raise.

This is probably foreign to me and you because we're a little aggressive, but 70% never ask.

And yet of the 30% that do ask,

70% of them get something.

They may not get what they asked for.

So, oh, I want, you know, I want to go to at least 100,000.

Well, maybe they say, well, we can't do that.
