We have somewhat formed "business hours" however bidding is something that we need to be available to 24/7. This doesn't happen all the time... but, we still need to be available to discuss/agree before bidding.
I agree.. when HE feels he is done, then he is done... and the way he goes about it, comes across as dismissal. I don't like it. I would not do that to him. I don't think thats the way you treat someone you care about. I don't want to be treated this way.
I could suggest ground rules... but not sure what they should be based on the nature and flexibility of our industry and the desire to make money & get rid of our inventory to downsize.
I do not want this to turn into a monster... I will find a way to briefly mention how I am not comfy bidding without his support. That it is not worth us not getting along. Then I will pause. Then let him know that ending the call abruptly is like leaving me with no closure.
Do I not approach this on a personal level too? ending calls abruptly left me hurt/discouraged.
