I will name them when the situation is resolved

My guess is InsideSales, or whatever they are called today

XANT. And that was my guess as well.

Seems pretty sleazy. He should just go down the street to the next player and

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.

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.

It wasn't interviewing a candidate. It was a guy who was already working in the

this, it wasn't an interview, he had already worked there a year, the meeting

7/14/21 4:36pm

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

I agree with that as well

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

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

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

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

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

JuicyJam

Sounds like they just hired a short term employee

Weird. I don't know anything about contract law, but how is signing a contract

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

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.
