Consulting Firm Faces Challenge as Star Employee Resigns
Allison, the CEO of a consulting firm, is currently in a serious meeting with Trevor, a star employee who announced his resignation one month ago. Trevor intends to start his own consulting practice. His management of an account contributes over 20% of the firm's revenue, which has placed pressure on the firm following his announcement.
The client associated with Trevor's account has made it clear that they want him to stay involved with the engagement, complicating the situation further. Trevor is considering continuing his involvement with the client to benefit from commission payments as he navigates through the challenging initial months of setting up his own business.
Allison's firm is equally in need of the revenue generated from Trevor's account, leading to a conflict of interests that must be resolved promptly.
