What do you think about not working at a friend’s company?
Thread Content
There’s a motivational message on WeChat that says: Never work for your friend’s company. What do you think? 1. Feeling upset – is the friend the boss and you the employee? 2. Can’t bear to lose face; it’s awkward to bring up salary and benefits? 3. Even if there’s a chance, it’s not easy to leave, fearing being criticized for being ungrateful? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Chinese partner: Don’t play mahjong with your mother-in-law, don’t sleep with a woman who has too many opinions of her own, and don’t start a company with your best friend
It’s not about face; it’s about compensation, job position, and how mistakes are handled.

If it’s a partnership situation, there are even more problems

The better the relationship with friends, the more necessary it is to do this, by revealing to each other the boundaries that must not be crossed
