[spidey07]

OK - I already tried to give the straight talk...if you don't want to play the game then you will never win...

Learn how to play the game.

You are in control of this opportunity. What you will do with it and how well you make out is up to you.

But, just in case, bring your kneepads.

Nope, OP is in the control position. John is in charge of a new departement at a new company and needs to bring in a few people he can trust to build his empire and doesn't really care what it costs. If OP plays it right it will be an incredible opportunity that doesn't come along very often.

He just has to play it right. He'll be very well paid and very well protected from day one.

I agree.







:roll:

But OP still may want to bring some kneepads.

MotionMan

What the hell???!!!! I think you have your roles reversed.

John is sucking Vonkhan schlong, this is what is called protocol. If anybody is wearing kneepads it is John.

Learn to play the game. I keep trying over and over to help this board to learn how to play the game.

So, what are you saying? You want to lend Vonkhan your kneepads?

MotionMan

damn you.

we are trying to have a serious debate and you come up in here and make it all fallacious

pun intended

[pyonir]

He probably wants to tell you about this great new business opportunity...and it's NOT a pyramid scheme!

 

[OdiN]

We've been syringered.

 

[Auggie]

I think you should make sure he'll accept you for a job offer before making juicy Poasts.

 

[Vonkhan]

LOL !!! yous guys crack me up

Update: Yes, it's a job offer - I just don't know whether this is a good time for me to switch or not since my gf is pregnant & that'll mean I'll have to give up a lot of freedom (long lunches, mornings / afternoons off, etc). Also, I'm about a year away from finishing off my MBA thru evening classes. There's a decent pay hike but the job will be a lot of work - I'm guessing I'll need to put a 10+ hour work days on a regular basis. It's a management position, so shit's always gonna flow uphill - not sure whether I need all the extra stress in my life right now.
