I'd say that the employees have more leverage in such industries. It's struggling industries that will try and run with skeleton staff & work 'em like slaves.

The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood. -
For accounting (current shortage) you can negotiate for higher pay, but usually not less hours.Originally posted by Arrian

Ok. In a general sense, however, time = money. Thus, you work more hours but get paid more = you can retire earlier or somesuch. I work my cushy desk job for 40 hours a week and make less money...
But yeah, it all depends on the exact situation, I guess.

Surely, you can pick an employer who will work you less, but the work load is normally set. You can't negotiate that. They can't hire someone and then just not have work done.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

They can try but people in Calgary are able to pick and choose at the moment. Companies that try to slave-drive are just losing people unless they compensate by having the best salariesOriginally posted by Kidicious
Usually in industries where there is shortage of qualtified employees the employer tries to get the employees to work more. No?You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

Lawyers in private practice work ridiculous hours, Kid. Thus, even if he works pretty hard at the oil company, he will likely be working less.
The take-home is a little less but stock options (which will take a little longer to vest ) bring me up to about the same overall compensation. Add in a pension ( completely employer paid --never had that before) and bonueses and it is entirely possible I will not make ANY less in the long runOriginally posted by Arrian
I know the attorneys that work here (inside corporate counsel) always say how cushy it is compared to private practice (although it doesn't pay as well).

Odd-- we have lawyers working a 60% load. They get paid 60% and have a billing expectation at 60% and everything is pro-ratedOriginally posted by Kidicious
