A Huge Welcome to the President and CEO!

Today has been a crazy, nerve wracking day here. Our younger son, pictured with his girlfriend, is leaving his job and beginning a new advertising company with a couple of partners. Finally, his attorney approved his contract after many changes and it had to be signed today. If the business goes belly up, he will sell his house and live in an apartment. If not, the sky is the limit. Tomorrow he has to break the news to his old partner, who won’t be very happy with his leaving. A few others will quit, too, after he goes first, and follow him to his new company. Such is life, but he needs to move out and up. I love his new title and the name of his new company, which I can’t share here.

Thanks! He had to get it signed by a certain time and one partner lives in Israel - a 10 hour time difference! But that’s done and overwith. Now the real work begins.

Thanks for the clarification and thanks so much. He’s worried how his boss will react when he breaks the news to him. He likes him a lot and he’s always been good and generous to my son, but can’t run the business. My son did it all. Hope the business doesn’t fold.

@DianneN True, but some things cause more problems than others... I'm sure your son will do fine. He got a good roll of the dice in the brains department.

@DianneN I'm sure his old boss will muddle through somehow. Your son may get talked about unkindly for years, but that's a small price to pay for freedom.

Many thanks! As you know, nothing is ever smooth, but they have a good plan in place. As soon as they signed the contract, they went straight to work.

After he officially quits tomorrow, he will be so relieved. His boss will be devastated and not very happy at all. My son ran the company for him and basically did everything. This has been brewing for a good year. At least my son waited until he received his bonus Thanks so much!

His old partner has been expecting your son, to keep things going. He will be sorry, once your son quits and it's his own fault! What a beautiful couple

@kobesbuddy My son did all the hiring and firing. And his boss doesn’t know how to do the work or anything except demand more from his workers and raise prices for his customers. In addition, he’s a nonvaxer, so my son only did conference calls with him at meetings. The boss actually held a meeting with covid! Idiot! Adios…..

He made the old business very successful, but did all the work and only received a small portion of the profits. Now, his new business has good partners who will split the profits together. Thanks so much!
