    Default Re: After 6 Yrs, Finally an Employment Contract is Given to Me. but

    hi there..
    much appreciated the time u took to read my story.. Just to clarify, i guess im not after the legalities of this, so much as the ethics as viewed by the audience here.

    I have all american investors, and paid in USD here too... I really just need some advice on how to write to these men that have offered the contract, and how to politely decline to sign it.

    Am i correct in assuming that i dont "have" to sign anything?... i mean, its ultimately my call here i would guess?

    I wish to tell them firmly but politely, to just let the status quo be. And for them to come back to me with a contract when they actually have something to offer me.

    Is that a fair ethical position for me to take?

    The problem is that you're dealing with Indian employment laws, not American.

    I can't answer the question of ethics, if only because it would be based upon my own experience (and ironically, I'm a British ex-pat living in the US ) and what I might consider unethical may not match anybody else's opinion.

    If I were in your shoes I would be trying to have some actual conversation with whomever is "in charge" of their end of the negotiation. I would politely explain that they have really not given you any incentive to sign the contract. They are simply locking you into the current status quo for another two years, and you feel that you are due something more than that after 6 years. Its really not necessary to be "firm". You can simply say that you are unwilling to be locked into the current status quo for another two years, but would be happy to reconsider if they choose to make another offer.

    However, I would also be looking at just how profitable the business is as part of my negotiating tactics as well. If the business is not really profitable or only marginally profitable then you do not have much room to negotiate. If the business is seriously profitable, then you have a lot more room.
