ear objectives and rules for another that is plex and illdefined. At one point my manager said to me, “Change the numbers, but don’t change the conclusion.” Of course, there’s no trouble in changing the numbers — it’s not as if there was much of a basis for this set of numbers over another — but change them how, and to what? Who knows? Find me a rock. I don’t know if I’ll ever have kids. Still, when I find myself in a moral quandary, I like to think it through by imagining how I would explain the situation to my future, hypothetical children. What would I say? How would they react? Could I justify my actions as having been in their best interest? I wasn’t sure at the time, but having had enough free time of late to ponder such questions, I think I’ve e to the conclusion that having a father who can pay for a topnotch education outweighs the disadvantage of being raised by a hypocrite. Sticking with the job for the sake of a paycheck passes the children test. I was not surprised the day I lost my job. The writing was on the wall. BCG’s management might have been releasing reports claiming countries like Dubai would be islands of stability in the world’s rough financial seas, but to the ground troops, it was obvious the economy was not doing well. From the very beginning of my employment, I hadn’t met a single employee who planned on staying with the pany — all of them were scrambling for lifeboats, trying to land cushy jobs with cashstuffed clients or find their way back to their home countries. What did surprise me was the offer BCG made to me as I was on the way out the door. In exchange for me signing an agreement, BCG would give me the rough equivalent of $16,000 in UAE dirhams. Much of it looked boilerplate, like any mon promise agreement used in Europe — in return for some money, I would stipulate that I hadn’t been discriminated against on the basis of race or gender, etc. But the rest was very clearly a nondisclosure agreement, and it made me unfortable. I signed a nondisclosure agreement when I first took the job, but that only covered BCG’s intellectual property and client identities, things that seemed entirely reasonable to protect. This agreement went much further. Not only did it bar me from making any disparaging ments about BCG or my work experience, but I wouldn’t even be allowed to reveal the existence of the nondisclosure agreement itself. The implication was clear: I could either be a cheerleader for BCG or stay silent, but anything else would bring swift legal retribution. When I asked to have the nondisclosure clauses removed, I was told that the agreement was a standard offer to employees, and that its terms were nonnegotiable. As hard as it was to decide whether or not to stay at my job, it was easy to pass up the hush money. Mistake or not, my future hypothetical children deserved to hear their father’s story, and $16,000 did not seem like a lot of money in the grand scheme of things. After rejecting the offer, I enjoyed a full night’s rest. 源地址: 來(lái)源: | 分享 2269 | 瀏覽 22746 | | | 20110221 15:44 is this true?! 20110221 19:38 回復(fù)尤東辰:我覺(jué)得里面那個(gè)20%應(yīng)該就足以成就BCG了,何況他在的是中東,which我們(至少是我)都不了解那里的商業(yè)環(huán)境和商業(yè)理念 16 / 16
