Ex-Programmer at Goldman Found Guilty of Stealing Trading Code

Mr. Aleynikov wanted to be able to work from New Jersey, where he lived, and eventually agreed to work out of New York City if Teza paid an additional $200 a month for his parking, Mr. Malyshev said.

Pretty ridiculous arguing over a 0.2% salary increase.

Actually it isn't. If you work 40hrs/wk, 50wks/year, that 0.2% salary increase is 4hrs worth. That isn't even including the cumulative benefits of subsequent years.

Spending 1hr negotiating 4hrs of income? It makes sense, no matter how much you make. Regardless, a 10% increase is composed of a number of 0.2% increases.

you forgot to factor in the negative implied equity of being "that guy who fought over a 0.2% pay increase." 10% is fifty of those. You'd never be hired again!

I interviewed with this guy a while back. Good thing I didn't take the position ;)
