Those engineers demanded a 50% pay increase, right?

Why should they be so modest?

I know several people who would never return to any company who has fired them. Neither for 50% nor for 5000%.

I personally would think hard for 1000% or more.

I would probably do it for 6 month's income as a lump sum to fix that 1 thing. I wouldn't go back on payroll that's for sure
