I’ve had that happen to me in the C-Suite of my own companies, with vendors, partners, advisors Not exactly easy to screen them out, because you want their bus

Not exactly easy to screen them out, because you want their business! Annoying but I just remember “that’s what I hired this white guy with the ivy league pedigree for, atmosphere modeling” so the vendors have someone to make eye contact with
It works, I do the same in every country. I’m not spending a single minute of time on “representation and diversity trends in South Korea” I just do the thing that most likely makes money, I don't treat the US differently. Save the causes for after you’re done trying to make money.
Nice to know others have that experience.
- tragictrash 4y agoI've unknowingly been that guy before. Ended up giving that employer the finger on my way out. Good riddance. It works, but you're just pandering to dinosaurs.
- vmception 4y agoWhich guy. The one not making eye contact? The atmosphere model? The person not getting eye contact?
- tragictrash 4y agoAtmosphere model, thanks def needed to clarify that one.
- vmception 4y agoYeah, good for you sticking up for yourself, my guy didn’t have other marketable skills and was also adequately tied to the value of their stake. Definitely true on how this behavior in my case was correlated to old people. The one about women being ignored probably has broader distribution.
