Marketing Manager - France: Fill & Download for Free

I firmly believe what he has done at Real is bonkers . Everything he touched turned to gold . However for him to develop as a Manager he had to leave .In years to come , we would speak about “Zidane - The Manager” in the same way we speak about “Zidane - The Player” .Neither of Pep , Jose , Allegri have achieved what Zidane has achieved in his 3 years at Madrid . Looks like surely at some point he would go and manage France and lead them to another World Cup Glory .What he got right at Real Madrid -When you are a gaffer at a big club like Real , Bayern , PSG things can go all haywire easily if you don’t keep the players motivated and don’t let their egos clash . Zidane had got this spot on ..!!Zidane didn't go out hunting in Transfer Market . The only memorable of signings were Dani Ceballos and Morata . Zidane on the other hand backed his players and probably brought the best of them.Zidane was ready to sacrifice players if they didn't fit his system . His use of both Asensio and Lucas Vascus was just brilliant. He also managed Ronaldo pretty well .He had a bond with players and they would stick their neck out for him .So..Even Pep inherited a Treble wining team from Jupp Heynckes but could not replicate the same success as he tried to impose his style of play on Bayern Players , Zidane passed with flying colors in this area also .But its still very early to compare him to Sir Alex , who i believe is proven winner over and over again.Zidane surely as shown signs of a good managerial temperament and is in the wish list of all European Top teams .This my honest reaction about Zidane’s stint at Madrid -

Working for a small, Dubai based software company a few years ago, I was assigned a project for automating a customer services workflow for a very large oil company. As it happened, being the only developer on the project I was also doing requirements analysis with the client, so I met the assistant marketing manager (AMM) several times. After a few months of incremental development and demonstration, I delivered the project to the client with all the features agreed upon in the contract. The AMM then came up with a list of features outside the project scope that amounted to about 400 hours of work.The company MD told me to visit the client and tell him that these features are outside the scope of the original contract, and will be billed extra. Given my previous experience with the client, I did not expect any issues. I went to the AMM and explained to him the break up with hours of the extra work, and found him acting uneasy. Then his senior, the Marketing Manager came in.After briefly repeating the context to him, I informed the marketing manager that there is an extra 400 hours of work. The marketing manager rolled his eyes and said something rude. That was quite an unexpected, unprofessional response, and I felt angry. Considering the amount of effort I had put into the project, I felt that I was entitled to some respect instead of the humiliating gestures I was being dealt out.Then the VP of Marketing walked in. In retrospect, I feel that my expectation of meeting some suave, smooth talking marketing folks was completely wrong. The VP was a French national, and I had previously spent 4 years living in France. Given my interaction with the polite, civilized French, I was not at all prepared for what followed. Here is how the conversation with the VP panned out:VP: How much is this additional work going to cost?Me: There is about 400 hours of additional work, so the cost would be subject to that number of work hours.VP: Yes, but how much is the money?Me: I am not aware since the hourly rate is determined by my manager.VP: But you are a company employee, why don't you know?Me: Well if you assume an hourly rate of X dollars, then the amount comes out to be Y.VP (aggressively and scathingly): Do you know who we are? When we promise something to a customer, we don't go back and change the price! Our customers expect us to deliver what we promise! If you are not going to do this work for free then I will cancel this project (we had by then received very little in the way of the due payment).Me (not responding very tactfully because I was really angry): You know, when you go to a restaurant and order a $10 meal, and then order an additional serving, and a drink and a dessert, do you just pay $10 in the end?The VP wasn't expecting this kind of a retort. He was quite taken aback, and reflexively went into a seemingly deep study of the estimate that I had provided. The Marketing Manager said something rude. The VP looked up after a minute and said:"You know this break up is like saying that you will provide us a car, and the car has 4 wheels and a steering wheel, and the charges for that will be extra. All of this should have been in the initial estimate!"Me: Have you guys previously...VP: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY GUYS?!?!Me: Uh... gentlemen?VP: YES!Me: Have you gentlemen previously had any experience deploying IT systems?VP: YES! WE HAVE SAP! (The AAM was pretty frustrated with their SAP deployment, thus leading to the implementation of the current project)The VP then slammed his hands on the table and said he was going to cancel the project. I left their office fuming and seething. My Manager later told me that the project isn't cancelled but we have to do the 400 hours of extra work for free.The project was completed in due time, and I got to see the AAM a lot less often because apparently I had massively messed up the account. I had gotten my job through a reference of my manager's business partner, with whom my manager had a falling out. As vengeance, my manager fired me, and in the termination letter wrote that I was rude and had worked for the Big Oil client without his knowledge. I refused to acknowledge his allegations (he was asking me to sign the termination letter). He then delayed the cancellation of my visa as much as he could. The way that the work visa system works in Dubai is that normally you have to cancel your visa and then reapply for it if you change jobs. If you have family, then their visas get cancelled and reissued too. There are substantial cancellation feels, and large issuance fees. You also have to exit the country and enter it again. If you don't want to take the exit, you pay another 700 Dirhams as "adjustment charges". So effectively the government makes money off of your misfortune in case you are fired.I then went to work for another company that hired me for some technical consulting work. Their trouble was that their marketing manager couldn't find any clients because the Emiratis have a very low appetite for software. If they do give work, they want to pay very little and get a lot in return, usually on the lines of what that big oil company was expecting. After a year or so, the company wanted me to relocate to another country with a reduced salary. My trouble was that I had signed a 1 year lease with my landlord (which is a standard in Dubai). If you cancel the lease in less than a year, you pay an extra 3 months of rent. The alternative offer wasn't good anyway so I refused and resigned from my position. I then worked for a startup for 6 months, which ground to a halt because no one wanted to buy our product and suddenly government legislation came up that disallowed the kind of vehicle tracking device we were providing as part of our solution.In general, Dubai is an immoral and intellectually bankrupt society that has traditionally lived off of the misfortune of others. Until the oil prices crashed, Dubai was an illegal oil re-export hub for smuggled oil coming from Iran and perhaps ISIS. Now there isn't any margin in the smuggled oil and all the traders in that sector have wound up and left. Dubai doesn't have much of an economy apart from tourism, but that is also flailing with the government having to pay for the heavy maintenance burden of all the infrastructure they have set up. I left for Australia in August, and am a lot happier here in my job then I ever was in Dubai. All my programmer colleagues from Dubai have also left the city, so it doesn't seem to be working out for many people.Although the Dubai bureau of statistics may paint a rosy picture, I am pretty sure their GDP took a massive hit in 2015 due to the oil sector crash. It isn't a place to go to any time soon. Not with their weak educational system and absence of any indigenous talent. With a $80 billion economy, their debt currently stands at a staggering $150 billion, which is about as bad as Greece.So if you are looking to move their, don't think about it. Honestly, it is far worse than trying your luck in India or Pakistan, if that is where you are from.
