I have a friend that had a dilemma at work, NO, the friend is not really me pretending to be the friend, but here it goes………. need some advice…. Lets say my friend works for PEPSI and a new cola company wants him to come work for them in the sales department lets call it NEWCOLA just so you can follow along. Now lets back up a little, Pepsi hired my friend about 5 months ago, he replaced a guy ( lets call him Tim ) as sales representative that actually quit and went to work for NEWCOLA, after 3 years with a solid company, but soon came crawling back to Pepsi, and was given his old job back, but after 2 weeks back at Pepsi, he was fired for trying to manipulate customers, ( Tim ) was some how still doing work for NEWCOLA,……… hence Pepsi hired my friend to do Tims old job. In last 3 months my friend has made the company over 1 million dollars, that’s more than Tim made them last year…… moving right along……….. another guy, we will call him Aaron is the guy that trained my friend, he had 12 years in with Pepsi and actually trained my friend to do Tim’s sales job ( Aaron’s title really isn’t important, but he was a right hand man for the General Manager )…. Last Friday Aaron up and quit and went to work for NEWCOLA, one of the other employees saw him recently and he said that Tim ( the old sales guy ) was kicking but at NEWCOLA and they offered Aaron a deal to come and work for them, ( it must have been a deal for him to just quit after 12 years ) The general Manager really likes my friends work performance and is very pleased, after Aaron quit, my friend got a $ 100 per week raise, out of loyalty for his company, he was asked to keep an eye out for Aaron around town as he was also going after old PEPSI customers, and to report back any sightings or other pertinent information. The general manager is a good ole boy and really likes loyalty, you see, Aaron was not only his right hand, but a good friend, the GM felt like the knife is still in his back for how this all happened Today, Aaron approached my friend with an offer to come over to NEWCOLA, my friend only had 5 months work experience in sales, in the cola industry, but his performance and numbers are outstanding. Aaron offers him $ 200 more per week that he is currently making. ( that’s $ 200 on top of the $ 100 raise he just got ) Sounds good but where is the catch……. Why did Tim leave to go back to PEPSI the first time ? He did not think NEWCOLA had deep pockets, as some paychecks were late, NEWCOLA has since received a 3 million dollar advance thru a merger with another corp. Tim and Aaron are currently trying to make deals with old PEPSI customers as they know the PEPSI system and can bend numbers to make sweeter deals. Some smaller customers are going with NEWCOLA The Dilemma : Should my friend report back to his general manager ( GM ) and tell him, that he was approached by Aaron to come and work for NEWCOLA, ( remember my friend is pretty happy there he just got a $ 100 a week raise ). He thinks that this act would get him some loyalty points with the GM since Aaron discussed how they were going after the old customers, and the GM might be able to adjust pricing or save customers from making a switch to NEWCOLA Or……….Should he secretly discuss options with Aaron, knowing Aaron recently stiffed the GM, a good friend of 12 years to go work for another company. More money isn’t always the answer, Tim wanted to bail out cause pay checks were not as promised, but Aaron made the jump after 12 years with a sold company. So that has to make you think about the financial situation of NEWCOLA. The future for NEWCOLA is completely unknown………PEPSI may not take him back if he jumps over to NEWCOLA and NEWCOLA fails. I gave him my opinion, but I just wonder what anyone else might have to say……thanks for staying with me on this
