“When it comes to competition, the halachah is pro-consumer and leans toward open-market competition”
Tamar Bechoffer calls to tell me she signed up with Nava — side note, she had totally told me she wanted to sign up with me, but whatever — and Nava told her I’d be a reference, that she’d worked for me and had my full support.
Chutzpah.
That’s the only word that comes to mind.
And that’s why I say, “I’m so sorry, I really don’t know her very well, she’s my best friend’s cousin,” curtly and then hang up.
I feel like a failure on all accounts, and I go to sleep in a bad mood, wondering what it would have taken for me to have said something nicer about Nava.
