What would you do?
« on: March 07, 2008, 06:27:42 AM »
My old boss called, and some might recall the rant I had about those 2 companies. 

The CEO of the international company I used to work for just e-mailed me, asking to re-hire me as the Marketing manager for the Greater China Region for another go with a similar line of products. 

Guess what, this joint venture is even more complicated.  There will be 3 distributors working with one manufacturer for one geographic location.  There is no central command locally.  And we have a projection of a US$ 500,000.00 sale target for the first year.   

Should I tell him to F*ck off?

Take the money for two years.

Then take a vacation for five years.

I'm pretty sure Wildcard has a point. Then follow BC's advice and end up with your own suggestion. Step two is most likely ???, but step3 is definitely PROFIT!

LOL, become a consultant and get hire back as an adviser for the company is one of the oldest trick in the book.
