Not Possible...

During this busy week our hero received some disturbing news from some acquaintances he had from headquarters. The employees that were entitled to stock options had been receiving the relative documents from the HR office. Our hero had not heard anything. He tried communicating with the HR director, but of course there was no answer. Luckily he would be coming to Peru our hero thought. However he was extremely worried. Why hadn’t he heard anything regarding stock options? This was a basic element of his agreement. One of the basic reasons the he moved with his family to another continent. He discussed it with his wife. She was also worried, but both of them at the end could not imagine that anything could go wrong. This is an agreement. It would be totally unethical for the company not to stick to a commitment it had made to an employee it hired as an expatriate. Our hero could not imagine that a company could display a behavior like this. A company not honoring its half of an agreement. Our hero thought that this could not be possible, but the company behavior until that point, worried him. In any case the HR director would visit Peru in a few days. He would discuss that issue with him immediately.
