Another Phone Call

The next day the CFO finally called. He tried to change our hero’s mind. He told him that he should have talked to him directly about his issues and not through the HR director. Our hero was surprised. Weren’t you informed about my issues he asked? Yes, I was but it is not the same to hear it from you directly. Our hero could not believe this answer. Since he was informed correctly from the HR director, what would be the difference if our hero repeated the same things? Anyway he stopped thinking about it and considered it an effort from the CFO to convince him to stay through promising that from now on all issues would be handled directly by him. About the stock options he said it was a mistake from the HR director. He should not have committed to something like this. However I will personally see that next year you will receive stock options. How about this year our hero asked? How can we cover the lack of stock options? I am afraid it is not possible to do anything this year the CFO said. I can’t offer you anything now, but next year…. Our hero was beginning to get tired. The same story…
