Work Expanision of Credit Card Program

Preoccupation with failure
As Eastern Europe was becoming incorporated into Western Europe the credit card companies began extending credit to people. Someone quite familiar with Eastern European financial practices on a personal level I made several recommendations based on the program in my company. These were ignored. As I saw losses increase I became worried and more assertive. This led to my dismissal from the company.
Within one year losses had mounted to millions of euros. The company contacted me and brought me back in. Were able to correct this program and became a vibrant and productive credit card business.
