Where they think the company going in the next 6 months, year, 5 years. How they view legal (e.g., partner, cost center, roadblock). How they currently work with legal? How they like issues escalated? Risk tolerance? Budgeting? Views on OC?

I think have a couple of questions for them but this isn’t the time to deep dive with them. Be prepared to show you know your role and how you fit into the organization. Show them through examples that you understand you’ll be a partner to them and will work to enable the business goals and not be a barrier, etc.

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
