No integrity

I dunno if I mentioned before, but my company is working on an account that is the sister company of one of my completed accounts.

So the story goes that this sister company - lets just call them NI, short for no integrity - apparently request for our input in their new office.

They are currently squatting at my client's office, and using their facilities, and hogging their limited space. My clients are not happy about it but there's nothing much they can do to invite NI out.

Now NI is looking for a space of their own, partly because my client no longer have space for them to eat into. Another designer was assigned to this account, much to my relief.

I am definitely on my client's side and there's no way I will withhold information from them, like how NI requested. My sales team now is very secretive towards the whole project, fearing that I might divulge certain information to my own client, and make them lose this new one.

But even so, so what? I have all the right to protect the interest of my own client, much to they have theirs. We should just draw the line clean and let my colleague to start on an account with fresh ideas, in mind, instead of being restricted by my earlier configurations.

My sales team keep asking information from me regarding my client but refused to speak a word to me about NI. I know their stand, and I know they wont recognise my stand, because to the sales team, once an account is closed, it is goodbye, pass me the money and please fuck off for them.

Sigh. It's difficult to work with people with double standards, worse when they insist I comply.
