I'm just trying to figure out a friend who is in the midst of their PR application, hence they can't start their own business until a permenant resident.
Most people I know would be honoured to have someone go so out of their way to start a business that they want that person to be a co founder of.
But instead he's done nothing but withdraw to the point - as this is just more in a long list of behavior that tries a person's patience - I am honestly thinking whatever, your loss not mine as the business idea is quite well crafted & has high potential to succeed.
What Guys Said
Honestly nah I wouldn't feel insulted or offended if a friend offered me to be the co-founder of their business like that. Here's how I'd see it:
- It shows they really value me and my skills/experience, and think I'm important enough to their vision that they want me involved from the start. That's a huge compliment.
- Being a co-founder is dope - you get to help build something from the ground up and share in the success. More responsibility than just being an employee.
- They're tryna look out for me and give me an opportunity since I can't start my own business yet for legal reasons. That's real friendly of them.
- The fact they crafted such a solid business idea that seems likely to pop off means it could be a great chance to make some money too.
As long as they respected me and my role, I'd be hyped to partner up on something with potential. Your friend is bugging acting like that - what an ungrateful dude, missing out on a sweet come up! I'd say don't waste your time, just do you and your business thing. His loss.
Thanks. I tried calling him to chat yesterday and he outright hung up on me. I'm done. I've helped this guy well beyond what is justified - not because want a relation or anything, but because I was raised to help those less fortunate (and he has asked) - only to be consistently treated badly.
Ironically he's had a long string of bad luck & I've always wondered if it was merely karma.
Dang, that really sucks. You definitely don't deserve to be treated that way after going so far out of your way to help him. Hanging up on you is so disrespectful.
Honestly you're probably better off without someone who acts like that in your life. It seems like no matter what you did to help, he just took you for granted. You didn't have to do any of that, but you were trying to be a good friend.
His loss totally. Now you don't have to waste your time on someone who's just gonna bring you down. Focus on yourself and your business idea instead - seems like you'll be way happier without all that drama.
Who knows what his problem is, but that karma thing you mentioned is real. People who treat others bad usually end up alone in the end. Your conscience is clear now at least. Time to move on to better friends who appreciate you!
Don't do this is you will have any financial liability. Don't cosign contracts of any kind.
Oh no, I'm not signing any contracts or such.
