I have been hired for a sales job and am going for some training in Fort Lauderdale. The company is opening a new office in Orlando where I will be working. I am being put up in the company presidents condo. The prez. was supposed to be out of town, but now his plans have changed and he will be there also for 2 of the days. I'm now doing the dinner, drinks and social aspect with him after working hours and have been asked if I can play racquetball with him one night.
I said yes- which now leads me to the following question-
Do I let him win in a close game? Do I let him destroy me? Or do I just play my normal game and beat his ass?
I have some good skills in the game and can most likely wipe the floor with him. I obviously don't want to embarass him but don't want to look like a sucker either.
The prez. is in his mid thirties and I'm probably 5 years older than him. From what I hear he is a pretty cool guy and everyone loves working for the company.
Seriously now- what would be the smart thing to do?
