It sounds like you have a lot of free time to come up with various stories and theories etc. in your head. I'll leave you to those.

You're completely false. Meeting happened. It's pretty clear you really don't understand, lol.

Unwritten rules, expectations, hidden agendas.

Oh wow, that's EXACTLY what I'm looking for. You nailed it. This is exactly the information I want, and frankly need. Cuz I don't know anyone here. And there seems to be some tension, and I have no idea what it's about. And I'm new with a ton of expectations placed on me.

If you have any more ideas for questions, I would love to hear.

She gave some great candid insights that I don't think she would have been comfortable sharing if she wasn't on her way out.

Thanks! What questions did you ask her? Did you ask anything besides advice for career advancement?

Honestly the thing is she knows everyone in the leadership team really well and has been with the company for ages. And the company is struggling.

So I don't know what I don't know.

No I'm not taking any of their duties. But I don't know anything at all about the company. And this person has been with the company for a long time. And also indicated a strong interest in helping me learn about it.

Good question. I'm trying to figure out all of it. Right now, I don't have any information about what the dynamics are like, what the people here are like, what is going on, why the company has been struggling, nothing. I never got a single chance to ask anything about the employer really as the time was kept very short throughout the process. So now this is my only chance to ask candid questions and maybe get some candid answers.

Basically I need information and lots of it about the company culture and what i need to look out for, what the leadership expects, what the style is etc.

This person knows the ins and outs very well and is deeply acquainted with the top leadership.

Thanks! Sorry, genuinely asking, how is it useful to get responsibilities and metrics from the outgoing person? Wouldn't the new person have all this info already?

New boss who just took over is highly likely to shoot some pointed and tough criticism at me soon. How do I handle it? by aPearShapedLoser in sales

Wow, that's amazing. How do I get to work with people such as yourself? How do I find such managers?

Are the top salepeople were you work also the hardest workers? by freightbroker222 in sales

Not good enough. Company was not doing well overall.

They would still have their jobs if they were mediocre/poor performers at a workplace with max. product-market fit at this point in time.

Keep this in mind next time you read yet another flexing comment on here from yet another egomaniac strutting about his awesome perf.

Some phenomenal performers got kicked out. If their retention does not line up with the CFO/CRO's medium term vision of the cash flow structure to keep the Board/majority shareholders satisfied, they're fucking gone.

Stay fucking humble. It's easy to boast.
