Many companies will try it on, in a bid to improve their bottom line. What company wouldn’t?
If they get takers and the job gets done they win all the way.
If people accept that kind of money then the company is clearly not that far off the mark as to what people are prepared to accept. Wether they are the right kind of people is up for debate of course.
I’d be interested to see if indeed they do get takers at those rates as it will prove a point.
