I paid my dues,I ran a business for 30+ years

I had a job interview today, went extremely well. 2nd interview next week with the CEO. Excited for it. I'd be in the bicycle/e-bike industry.

noice. have you looked up ceo on Strava? what kind of wattage? work from home? work on peloton?

 

[Matty]

I did look up the CEO. Some of those e-bikes have crazy power and torque for off-road use, we're talking 1000 to 2500W. Sounds like I'd be mostly responsible for traditional "acoustic" bike sales though. Hybrid role, I'd be mostly at home, on the road 1 or 2 days a week to visit dealers. Job is at a new-ish distributor.

 

[Matty]

Make sure you get the big one, honey.

Soooo our biggest supplier has decided that they don’t need distributors anymore. They only want independents who work exclusively with them, and at reduced income. I’m not buying anything at 60. Thus I’m out of a 30-year job right after the Super Bowl.

They did that with the bread and chip runs in Canada years ago.With the cost of fuel and maintenance of the delivery truck plus servicing of the loan to buy the routes,it left very little for the owner operators.It was a wise decision not to buy in.

I actually have a degree in computer info systems but haven’t used it in years. Not sure how much demand there is for COBOL these days lol.

Everything is pretty open at this point.

2nd interview with the CEO went well, or so I thought. Was supposed to hear back by yesterday. Crickets. Either I'm their 2nd choice or I'm being ghosted. Shit sucks.
