I have a question that I hope some of you can give your opinion(s)on.
For the past 15 years, I have worked a couple of weeks each season for a bike touring company as their mechanic. I'll be honest and say, that I have loved every minute. The orginal owners sold the business, and I have for the past 5-6 years worked with the new owners. I've met some wonderful people, and had lots of fun on the bike.
Today I received a message that they are wondering whether I am interested in working again this summer. One of the tours is in the area that my shop is in, so I know the area well and luckily have the shop/parts as a backup should I need them. The ironic part to this whole situation is that they mentioned that they are having clients ship their bikes to another shop. Obvioulsy I was a bit upset that they didn't ask me if I wanted to provide this service, and quite frankly feel like it's a slap in the face. I have replied to their email and mentioned that I was upset by this. So, here's my question: am I overreacting? Should I even be upset over this?
Thanks for listening and I'd love your imput!
