Ask for a performance review and a number of KPI's measured on a daily / weekly basis. Also demand a pay review with a view of a pay increase 40 times the rate of inflation. If they don't agree to any of this, tell them to get someone from India to do it for much cheapness.If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here. -
figure out what rate it would really take to make you stay, even if it's ridiculous.
If you really don't want to stay, I'm surprised you're bothering to ask us. Just politely decline.
If they push to know why, say it's a personal reasons if you are living away from home, otherwise, say you have had an offer for a more interesting project elsewhere (ie. not a better offer, as they'll just offer a rate rise that you aren't interested in)Comment
