I'm, however, saddened to hear that some elected leaders are engaging in extortionist activities. Please don't give in to them. I live in the U.S., and when I hear such kind of stories, I feel very disappointed. Can you imagine a councilman in Seattle, where I live, demanding bribes from Microsoft before he votes for a motion to allow it to set up shop here? That'll be a scandal of the year. Stay tight Calvin, don't give those folks handouts. Maybe, the advise that I can give you is to ensure you fulfill corporate social responsibility. Ensure the community in which you work benefit from your work, not only in form of jobs, but building of amenities such as schools and health centers. But the community needs to know that you're not obligated to do so. In case you need my further advice, please write to me at nwachai@gmail.comJimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573570319586927339noreply@blogger.com
