Performing, getting work done and delivering, will make you known to those who actually need
your services.
Marketing will make you known to everyone else...
I did get tired to continue arguing.
My position has been stated in my previous posts : victimhood obsession, political correctness brainwashing, neomedievalism.
(i am not a native English speaker, therefore please excuse my poor vocabulary)
At the end of the day, if you gals (and you...
Dealing with a 100 people .Getting inappropriate behavior by 10 of them .Then, ignoring the 90 and pointing out the 10 as if they were the total.
That's typical of any lot of persons who get comfortable in feeling discriminated upon and in playing the victim part.
Hamburgerhelper,since you mention religion - my thoughts exactly, political correctness is the "middle ages" of today ( inquisition included as I can see...)
I should think that Hillary is preparing a new webinar : "how-can-your-husband's-sexual-harassment-become-a-boost-in-your-career".
Apart from that, it seems that the Western world does have a lot spare time to waste on politically correct BS.
The main issue is the difference in mentality and culture between the two companies.
SuperSalad made a good point concerning the aquisitioner's Knowledge on your company's business.
From your posting I understand that the buyer is a engineering firm too. If that's the case you may have to be...
Well...all house(s) of cards collapse one way or the other - one day or the other (ask Obama and Hillary they seem to have had some relevant experience on that...)
...just a bit offtrack here, but I think it may be interesting...
truckandbus.....In 1989 the company did have an email account!!!
Obviously you are in the US.
In my part of the world (Greece), email started becoming applicable at around 1995 and even
then it was considered "avant guard"...
I should agree with what BrianPetersen suggested: quotation validity 30-60 days.
And perhaps an additional wording which should run as :" after the end of quotation validity, the price / lead time terms are subject to new confirmation at the time of project maturity" (or smth like that anyway...)
CWB1,
Every point you state is nothing new, it is the "mainstream".
I have been hearing that, since more than 28 years in engineering environment, by many
people.
Let me put it another way : It's all in the mind (like most things in life).
Believe me, there never have actually been "...
Moltenmetal : a star for you, couldn't agree more!
I would like to particularly quote : " there are MANY employers who are not worth working for"

Googling, while originally a very useful tool, has in some cases turned into a real pain.
Engineering as in your OP, is somehow suffering from it.
It is not, of course, a Google issue. It mainly is, one more way for that type of people who
always look for the easy answer and quick tip ( and...
A or B, bottomline is : never ( or quite seldom anyway ) work over 40h weekly.
It is easier to do than you think ( or than what they want you to believe...)
Well,:
- If you enjoy the competitiveness of the private sector, then you should not not go public. There is
competitiveness there as well, but in a quite different way, which has not much to do with
engineering.
- Same if you enjoy the tight timelines of PS. You are going to have tight...
I wish you best luck in your next steps. You are young enough not to
get disappointed by inconveniences that many people anyway face and have faced.
Additionally, if I were you I would not be so polite to leave "aggressive" comments (like that recent)ureplied...
