All right, I didn't give you all of the details. I wonder if this changes your opinion.
This actually ocurred a month ago.
I am wondering if the events after this change your opinion at all.
First, I didn't accept the money. I thought about it (my wife wanted me to), but it just went against my grain.
Anyway, here is how the events played out:
1) It took me awhile to convice my boss (the V.P.) that I wasn't full of sh*t.. He really couldn't grasp what was going on.
2) He finally figured it out and thanked me for being honest, etc. He then told me to take my wife out to dinner, wherever we wanted and to just put it on my company Amex--we went to The Melting Pot, a favorite.
3) At the end of the month, they decided to close our office down. In my office there was me, five of my techs and my admin. (I had the $98,000.00 contract signed at this point)
4) The techs and I were "transferred" to a different company (the owners were friends). My contract went with me.
5) I don't get paid commission until the job is done.
Long story short, I got gipped the commission on the $28,000 and it doesn't look like I will be able to get the commission on the $98,000 (long story on that one)
And to make it worse, they accused me of stealing when we closed the office. Previously I was lauded as an honest and upright person, now they were calling me a thief. It turns out the admin "accidentally" had the missing equipment--no apology to me for the accusation. They went so far as to have the president of the company I was "transferred" to ask me what I did with the missing equipment. What a way to start a new position....
At the time, I felt good about what I did.
Now I look back and see how this company treated me and I wish had just taken the "finder's fee".
Does this change your opinion at all?
