白天Vendor Management 的人把External Vendor的回複發給我們,我寫了個對目前VENDOR 的回複的Summary.結果那人不同意我的第一點,也是最重要的一點。我解釋他的理解與VENDOR的回話有很大出入。
我心想我們必須準確理解別人OFFER 什麽才能進一步去Negotiate。結果我老板出來寫幾句模糊不清的話,暗示對那人的支持。
我沒理睬他。結果下班前他來問有沒有需要幫助的地方,和那人的觀點保持一致了嗎?他覺得那人說的沒問題。我說我們需要兩個Licenses(我老板也同意),那人的意思是隻要一個,這是主要分歧。然後我把那個最關鍵的錯誤概念拎出來,讓他看。
原話是:The customized data are deliverable and .....so it will be owned by xxx(means us) without question.
結果他說,那人的意思是 If the customized data are deliverable .....so it will be owned by xxx without question. 他說我應該去讀懂那個Hideen If.
這明擺是胡絞蠻纏. I made more attempts to explain two different views. He still continued with his nonsense.
He said he likes that person's answer better. I said: that is fine but we are talking about fact, where we are at this point, in order to arrive where we want to be through negotiation. We are not talking about hope and unrealistic dream.
I felt it would be wasting time to continue conversation like this and became a bit angry about this bull shit. Finally I sighed and said "How could a supposed easy communication become so difficult? Whatever you like, it is fine with me. I will shut up. " 他又說this is just a conversation...bla bla...I started to realize we needed to go home so just pretended to be agreeble, at least not disagreeable....
I know he will talk bad behind me again saying I have communication problem. Sometimes, workplace is really intellectually insulting and driving people crazy.
