I actually got to watch this conversation happen in regards to one of my coworker's rates.
"Who do I call to make [your training price] cheaper?"
"I'm sorry. I don't set the rates, the company does."
"But it's too much! I can't spend that much [on training]..."
"I'd give you a discount, but I'm not allowed."
"So who do I call...?"
I literally watched my coworker roll his eyes three times. I wanted to reach over and swat the woman. "Who do you call to make my paycheck smaller, oh really?"

He said "Well, you could go fewer days per week."
She said "But I need you to help me stay thin and healthy! So who do I call?"
