  • I agreed with the others... pick your battles. You don't want to get off on the wrong foot with your new COO. What I would do is get his instructions in writing (save your e-mails!) and have the new COO sign an employee change form authorizing the…

  • I had one candidate who left a SCREAMING voice mail message on my machine full of X*#!@ because she received a rejection letter. Needless to say, I would never again consider her for a position within the company. Some people never learned to bow …
