When friends make FUCKED up business decisions....
 

If a friend makes a fucked up business decision, should you bite your tongue or give them your input?

If I know before hand that they are considering it....I have no problem giving my :2 cents: but once it's done and then you find out...Should you keep your mouth shut? What if the friends business is currently more profitable than yours? Are you in any sort of position to give business advice to one that is more successful than you?

Hypothetical situation, of course.....:glugglug

you wouldnt be a friend if you didnt say shit. Give him your 2 pennies - whether he learns youi are wrong or right down the road , i think in the end he will value the fact you even said anything

help out your friend how ever you can.






chow

Give him your :2 cents: , can't be wrong !

of course...:Graucho

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh AaronM is never wrong, he is right there next to god. :2 cents:

If your friend's biz is more profitable than yours - don't give him your 2 Cents. You need cash more than he does. Just a thought. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I'm sure he or she has already figured out that they made a bad business decision therefore I would probably mention something about it but not offer any advice. If they make another bad decision in the near future then yes, step in and discuss it with them. Get me once shame on you, get me twice shame on me.

However, that is completely opposite of what I would want done to me in that same situation. I would want my friends to confront me about the decision and offer any advice they desire. If I made a bad decision then I would want any and all input I could get. I don't take things like that personal and feel that it only benefits me.

2 heads are always better than one.

I guess you missed the announcement abut my promotion.

God now answers to me and SleazyDream.

Aaron, you know that you gotta speak up and say SOMETHING at least.. Any good friend would not let someone do something that will potentially sink their own ship..

You've got a good head on your shoulders, you should already know the answer to this question homie!!!

Really? For a second I though you and Sleazy answered to god.

Hypothetically speaking?This person?s business decisions do not affect me in any way. I would be concerned about their business and about jeopardizing our friendship by interjecting unwanted advice.

Who gave you permission to think again?

same person that gave you permission to be a dick.

I always give them my opinion. When I say something shocking or contrary to what they want to hear, they know how I am so I don't get too much flack.

Here's a hypothetical situation - your friend get's maried to a complete hahahaha that wil take him for all of his money. You have the right to say whatever you want before he says "I do", but afterwards you are honorbound to support him in whatever way possible, short ofhurting yourself.

Now, is there any way you can help your friend avoid future losses, or is he in for sickness and health?

Productive critisism is fine, but if you are only going to rub something in his face that he can't do anything about, keep your mouth shut.

So says Wolfy.

Strange....Because Sleazy gave me permission to be a dick and I am pretty sure that he thinks you're a fucking idiot.

Shall we ask him?

I would say something if i was you, BUT it is nice to keep your mouth shut sometimes, because your advice might be misunderstood and that will incite some problems between you two.:2 cents:

If a friend told me about a new business idea that I thought wasn't a good investment, I would defnitely throw out my thoughts on it for him to consider.

If he wanted to brush aside advice from me without giving it any consideration because I made less money than him, well, that would be his choice & I probably wouldn't put in my :2 cents: in the future.

So what you are saying is that I should have the cunt killed before she really fucks my friend over.

Great point of view. I will keep this under consideration.

we already know the answer to that one

if the deal is already done you wish your friend good luck - that's if u think its just not a smart deal - in the event u find out about a deal after it's done and you know he's made a deal with somebody who's a con artist or completely full of shit u could tell him to watch out.

:thumbsup

You see, I dont give a flying fuck what you or sleazy think about me, you know why?
You don't do you... because my life doesn't involve around work, or around you, or anything that remotly concerns you, so i really dont give a flying fuck about you.
With that said, have a good day, dick, i'm out to fuck my gf (and I'm not paying for it *cough*) and then party and enjoy myself...

I'd be glad you give me your business advice in this case

While your fucking your gf.......Ask yourself why you bothered to read my thread if you don't care what I have to say.

And as for paying for it.....You say that like you are proud. Is that new for you or something?

Congrats. You finally got laid without a hooker. :thumbsup

There's always that option :P

if someone doesn't care what someone else has to say doesn't always say that he wont be interested....

new for me? no, what about you though?

Nope...I can honestly say that I have never paid your gf for sex. She gives it up freely.

Now...I thought you were leaving to fuck her?

Well......I'm gonna go out for a few hours.

Catch ya on the flip side. :321GFY

Aaron ... I'd give him your advice .. just because his biz makes more money doesn't mean that he can't over look something or make a mistake ... you never know just a small change based on your opinion could make a huge difference in his profits ..:2 cents:
