We’ve talked about how to handle vendors that won’t leave you alone (see Episode 96, a.k.a. Vanessa’s rant about “breakup emails”), but how do you let down gently a great vendor you just can’t work with right now?

Welcome to Ask Your Work Wife, a new podcast where Vanessa & Holland answer your real questions about real work in corporate America. Covering topics from quitting to interviewing to negotiating to resumes and meetings. It’s about knowing the rules of the game so you can get what you want.
