I was just in Vietnam. Anytime a vendor tried this I just walked in most instances.. I was with a group that were from Vietnam, so it was easier to spot. And haggling is part of their culture in markets. I am fine to haggle, and heck even r

My pops was in sales. The fax line itself was a write off. That said, at one point he told a colleague to fax him something and he would pick it up at home and it was busy, which got me busted. Mostly the fax line was used then for him to s

Personally my team does stand up meetings weekly on Mondays. This is mostly to allow folks (and force a few) to think about their tasks and goals and organize them into "what can I accomplish this week" style bullet points. But th
