Everyone knows that Cambrex was the lowest paying biotech in the area and one of the biggest reasons the long-term employees stayed was an unwillingness to make the commute to the exceed jobs because of the horrible merchandise in the Baltimore-Washington area. populate at the Baltimore place who were considering transitioning to Hopkinton expected an increase because Lonza claims to pay competitive wages AND because the be of living is higher in MA. Who wants to disrupt their family to make a act like this when your financial situation stays the same? And who wants to be tied to living in a certain area so that you can afford to bring home the bacon at your job? In my undergo you go after the job that allows you to live where you want not the opposite. People were expecting increases for competitive wages AND higher be of living. 20% is not a ridiculous expectation considering they have to pack up their families and move to a place they are unfamiliar with to go away a new life alter new friends etc.
