I’ve been going through an onboarding process with a local business that I’ve wanted to team up with for quite some time. Multiple meetings with the owner and management team. Talks of scheduling a start date. Salary negotiations. The whole deal.
During one of my early meetings with the owner, I revealed that I’m currently relocating and going through a separation from my wife. Not much was made about it, but I just got the call and was given the runaround about being distracted/lack of focus.
People can go through tough times and STILL perform their duties to a high standard…
Lesson of the day: NEVER SAY MORE THAN YOU NEED TO.
