i have a notorious reputation going around. its bad.
in my negotiation class, people think im cutthroat, vicious, stingy, miserly, what have you. i 'gave' a $200 tip in our last case, when the average tip was about $500. especially in america, you should never under tip, or so they say. i blame it on my cultural ignorance, and my asian background. our negotiation today required me to take on the role of a recruiter negotiating salary with a potential employee. it took 1 hour, and i thought i was pretty generous but compared to this other pair, i was awfully stingy. my partner said he wanted to quit the firm after that. he seemed really pissed off with me.
i never thought i'd be the vicious bargainer. it was traumatizing having to bargain in shanghai, i thought i was getting ripped off all the time. and i feel that in every negotiation, i sell out and agree to a price higher than i hoped for. why do they think im mean?!?!
