To me, eight months is a long time. I know as you get older, is seems times goes faster and faster. However, I still feel eight months is a long time.
Just recently, a sales consultant for one of my companies resigned. They got the better end of the deal, as they used a lawyer where I tried to follow "procedure" and "good faith" as is required by New Zealand employment law.
But the bottom line is after eight months, they had no sales. Oh, there was one, but the promises made to the client were so far from what was communicated to me that they refuse to pay. Apparently the consultant knew there were issues for nearly two months and never communicated them back to me. But that's another story!
Am I unreasonable to think that an experienced sales consultant should have made some sales? There were all the excuses, they were not experienced marketing, it wasn't their job, and without marketing, they could not sell. Blah fuck en blah.
So, here I am, stuck with a company 8 months into it's life and no sales. In addition having to pay the incompetent fool all sorts of extra money or face employment court. The company is so close to falling over its truly scary.
The clown better hope I keep it together or they won't end up with anything... the only money in the company is money I have from friends and family, and hard work in my other business. Such a nice individual to steal from my family like that! Lazy and stupid sums them up nicely.
Oh, I have been warned this blog entry might be naughty. However, it is my personal opinion, and if they really want to try extracting further money from an already crippled company, bring it on, there are still a few bones for a soup, enough for the liquidators fees.
