John, a 15-year employee of Saving Lives Hospital within the Human Resources Department, is a terrific
employee. He has worked his way up to HR manager, and has a stellar reputation within the hospital. John
always goes above and beyond to support the leadership team, the employees, as well as his team in HR.
John is happy with his job, but recently was sought after by another hospital that is much newer and closer to
his house by 10 minutes. It is also offering 30% more money, better benefits, and being able to work from home
two days a week.
John is torn; however, he has approached his VP, Chris, and explained his situation. Chris has listened to John,
but explained he cannot match that offer as John is at the top of the wage category for that classification in
which the HR manager role resides.
After weeks of going back and forth, John has decided to accept the offer, but meets one last time with Chris.

If you were Chris, what would you do and why? Please provide a detailed analysis of your decision.
