Few days ago, I got an email from this lady of the European Co that I work with - she asked me what's my vision for the cosmetic brand she's in charge with for TWN & China................WHAT? I dont even think this brand has a place anymore here, as not everything comes from France is popular. But how could you tell her, when she cc to the BIG SHOT?????
I hate people just dumping me such stupid question, when she doesnt even tell me what she really wants? My vision????? As a consultant, of coz it's sales driven - but for the "internationally known brand" from snobbish french, how on earth do I know?! First off, repackage the packaging - they look so old-school. Can I tell her? No....becoz she's not sitting face to face with me. Maybe she should just fly me to Europe 1st then so I understand better what's "high end", haha...sorry, it's so NOT high end. I would totally suggest her to go parallel import N online shopping solely.........re-building such an old-school brand via finding a distributor is unlikely, esp it's damaged by placing in wrong location now - SaSa. It was in Lane Crawford before, but that was like 10 years ago.
I re-wrote the email three times at least, as I got lost what kind of tone I should put. It's not one of my usual contacts, which I could frankly explain the situation, nor they would be attempting to pay me high income to do it. Yet, I could not NOT answer, as I know they are also trying to test me in somewhat. I really hate working with them now.................my job with them is supposed to be simple, I am not their employee. Why would they need me to be enthusiastic or devoted to their team or vision..........I am merely their consultant who make ends meet by making some commission with no fucking health benefit or bonus.......what do they expect me to be excited about? Except, I diligently get more orders, not for them, but for myself!
And one more thing I am so thrilled in getting mad about is that they talk so much bad things behind each consultant back, of coz the fucking french E has a role in it. I want to find a medical term to describe him. You know, for next meeting, I am going to record what the fuck he says and uses it as evident. I dont even know what his schemes are, yet...............since I am not a staff, all I need to expand (not excel) myself is to get contacts, contacts, info, info, from these bastards.........................Guess with good chinese genes, I am patient enough & acting dumb enough........hope I will win, seriously................I hope I am smarter, really, then I could win faster.
Stress! In a very prolonged, tedious, and unspoken way.
