i got an email from our ceo in france saying that "you are sold!" im not kidding we are sold i work in this fashion company since last august it is one of the largest fashion companies in the world so here's the story yesterday morning, i went to work as usual it was a bit strange when i walked into the company you know that feel when people are talking on the hallway and trying to lower their voice while they know they really cant i didnt really pay much attention, and just walked by i sat down, logged into my computer, and opened my mailbox there was an email from the god dang HR i never really read HR's emails because they are always just a bunch of wordy and meaningless jargon you know, if someone gets promoted, the HR would write that person a freaking long worship song and say something like "he/she will be assigned senior level responsibilities" which you know thats not true because that person has looooooong been taking senior level responsibilities but!!! if someone gets busted they would come up a ridiculous joke to make it look not that bad while everyone knowns he/she screws or gets screwed so come back to the email i received yes, i read it yes, there was a word "sell" i was like "humm.... does sell mean sell? no... it can't be...." whatsoever so i moved on yes, i moved on! disregarding all the obvious signs surrounded me guess what?! 15 mins later, the svp called us to the conference room o~oh~ you know what happened...... yes, the whole team just got busted!!! that email was a screw-you-up-and-bye-bye-you-loser email XXX (pardon me for not showing the name of my company...) decided to sell 6 brands on the european market yes, we are for sale right now! right now at this moment!! and you now what, we may be on the freaking sale very soon!! so thats my story though people in our brand were telling me that they see more pro than con which may be the case because: if you are in a big giant corporation; a well-known monster you would be restricted by many many ways in terms of doing business for example, if you are in an apparel direct marketing brand, you are not supposed or allowed to rent/exchange names with companies that offer similar products as your corporate's other brands (products can be totally non-related things, such as a dish washer) even though you know their names perform the best to you of course there is definitely an upside of working in a corporation for example, you get to think globally and work locally (quoted from HSBC :) anyway, i love apparel industry i love retail i love mass market i love database i love marketing i love my coworkers and i love what i am doing right now and i know im gonna stick with it no matter what lets see whats gonna happen..................... :D -- 阿角日記 http://www.pixnet.net/profile/JiaoMao -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 76.119.196.168 ※ 編輯: ningko 來自: 76.119.196.168 (01/26 10:39)
