My ex-wife and I at the time were struggling financially in the big apple and I needed a raise. Unfortunately, she wasn’t going to get on because all she wanted to do is quit. So, a co-worker and I at the time had what we thought was a great idea. Frankly, since the idea is of no true relevance to the story here, I’ll omit it and just get to the good stuff. Fortunately, for us, since it was a “dot com,” we had a perceptually flatter hiearchy where you can email the CEO or President. I actually emailed the CEO once to ask him to be my mentor and he was kind enough to reply.
Kwa kweli, tangu wazo ni ya hakuna umuhimu kweli kwa hadithi hapa, mimi itabidi saza na kupata tu kwa mambo mema. Kwa bahati nzuri, kwa ajili yetu, kwa kuwa ilikuwa ni “dot com,” tulikuwa hiearchy perceptually flatter ambapo unaweza email Mkurugenzi Mtendaji au Rais. Mimi kwa kweli Emailed Mkurugenzi Mtendaji mara moja kumuuliza kuwa mshauri wangu na yeye ilikuwa aina ya kutosha kujibu. Katika shirika letu la kuhusu 700 + wakati huo, nilikuwa kidogo kushangaa alijibu na yangu ushirikiano wafanyakazi nilifikiri alikuwa anaenda kupata fired.
