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.

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…

I doubt it will over well with the CEO regardless

johnnybyu

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

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.

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.
