The saga continues.
The Cutie Pie company’s young owner came back today with flowery compliments and offered me the $20K more I was asking for.
Why I didn’t just tell her NO, I’m not sure. I think it was just a weird reaction to getting what I asked for and yet, it still doesn’t feel right to me, but it didn’t feel right to say no right away since it does feel a little bit like I got “what I wanted”. So she gave me the weekend to think about it.
And then I will say no.
Meanwhile, today I had a conversation with the president of The Serious Company (named so because they produce more components to the end product and is less fashionable), and got a little bit of the same thing - you’re going to have to prove yourself - simply because I don’t have direct experience with the actual product.
Y’all. I’m so tired of this having to prove myself. I have THIRTY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, but maybe not in direct connection with these companies’ products.
Interestingly, it seems that when I call their bluffs I get what I ask for, though that’s only happened once so far.
At this point in time, I’d much rather work for The Serious Company than The Cutie Pie company, but we’ll see what the president comes back with after he’s talked with my potential boss (I think?) again.
Once again, we can do hard things…but shouldn’t this all be a bit easier???
At least I have the weekend to think.
Happy Friday,
GS
