Contribution and Needs
Now that your company has relocated you overseas – let’s discuss compensation. How did the company reward you for taking on this assignment? What benefits did you gain or lose?
- Initial post – Since your imaginary boss has relocated you and you negotiated a good deal, how has this move improved your work/life situation? What will happen when you finish your oversea assignment and return to the company headquarters? What factors would make you interested in staying overseas past the end of your assignment?
Case: David Perlman
David Pearlman recently left his old firm to start his own company. Only a week into his new business, and still working out of his parents’ house, he heard a knock at the door. It was a summons—his old employer was suing him for $100,000 and seeking to shut down his new business. (Perlman Case)
