Deceived

They did not discuss their decision with anyone. They wanted to formally inform the company first. Our hero decided to send a letter to the central offices. He decided to explain exactly the reasons that lead him out of the company. He would focus on the stock option issue and the handling of the Argentina transfer. But more importantly he had to make clear that he wanted to be treated with the same respect he showed everyone in the company. He hoped that his message would be clear. However there was no way back. Whatever the company would tell him, he would not change his mind. The journey was over. He was a bit nervous about returning to Greece without a job, but he was confident that he would find a solution. Most importantly he was disappointed because he really enjoyed working with that group. He also respected the group CEO and, at least until that point, the group CFO. However he was not treated at all professionally. He felt deceived and that is a feeling that you cannot stand.
