> When Jesse told him a bit about what was going on, he revealed that a couple months back, our account manager had called him up to say that she was travelling internationally, had lost her wallet and needed him to loan her some money so that she could get a flight home. When Jesse asked if he’d paid, the wood supplier said that he told her that it was wildly inappropriate to be asking a suppliers for personal loans, and that she ought to ask a close friend or family member instead. He may be the only person in this whole story who didn’t get conned by our account manager.
Is this a cultural thing? Why were people in the factory lending her money? So weird.
- em-bee 8y agoshe was a colleague and (at least indirectly) a superior. it is a cultural thing to build more personal relationships in china, and especially with superiors in your or other companies that can potentially help you later.
