There is more liability for external job offers than for internal promotion agreements….the latter is really at the option of the company to change at will. As stated this was an internal promotion.

My guess is InsideSales, or whatever they are called today

Why would you even stay at a company that does that? The market is great. Find a different job

Interesting. Haven't heard of it before.

Also, I'm hiring in a bunch of roles if he is interested in leaving 🙂

Wait, he said: “hold on, imma loop my dad on this convo over speaker phone so we can get his input”?

Yeah, that's a little odd...

This is the most amazing part of the post. I thought millennials interviewing with their parents was a myth.

If I’m a CEO interviewing a candidate who calls his daddy CFO as a scare tactic to boost his negotiating position…

Yup that whole deal has soured on both ends, it’s seems.

I doubt it will over well with the CEO regardless

johnnybyu

7/14/21 5:28pm

That probably goes both ways. The CEO's actions didn't go over well either.

Northwest Cougar

7/14/21 5:44pm

I agree with that as well

johnnybyu

7/14/21 8:40pm

I told my son the CEO knew he was burning my son, this decision isn't about my

7/14/21 6:02pm

Agree completely

I don't think calling his dad was a scare tactic.

It sounds like this post is a very long roundabout humble brag.

TheWanderer

7/14/21 4:46pm

I left that out of the OP because I didn't want it to go that direction

7/14/21 4:55pm

Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it. No hard feelings.

TheWanderer

7/14/21 11:25pm

Yeah.. Hopefully he said it was his lawyer or something.

Sounds like they just hired a short term employee

I know of a place or two that does things like this. Find a new job.

TheWanderer

Wait, was this a new hire or an ad hoc promotion? If the promo was reduced by

This was an ad hoc promotion after working for the company for a year

7/14/21 4:34pm

If the CEO is dropping his pay in person by $10k, sounds like a really small company. No decent SS Co does that.

He needs to run. There are better companies out there.
