I think the relationship at that point is over, done.

Because from the candidate's point of view, they think, my employer's been underpaying me.

I don't know for how long, but they've been underpaying me.

If they can now pay me more.

And from the employer's point of view, they're thinking, well, this person, they're looking around, they're not loyal.

I don't trust them anymore.

So it's severed, as you just said.

So that's a useful tip for anyone.

If you're going to go and get a job offer somewhere and they make you a good offer.

Be committed.

That's a brilliant segue, Leanne, because my next guest on Spring Shorts is going to talk about how to get a pay rise.

I did that on purpose.

So we'll come back to that in the next episode.

Thanks very much for coming in.

I'm going to ask you two questions that I always ask my guests at the end of a podcast.

The first is, what gets you up on a Monday morning?

Well, I hope you were able to do that for many years to come.

I can see that you're doing that on a regular basis.

And my last question from my interview book, Why You?

101 questions you'll never fear again, Leanne, is where do you see yourself in five years' time?
