I wasn't going to put myself in a position where I work there for a year, they find out who my contacts are, and then send me down the road. They weren't offering me anything more than a bigger budget, and I never heard just how much I would have as a budget so I wasn't even sure they were offering a bigger budget. I was bringing my contacts and they expected me to expand upon my contact base. I wasn't getting any of their existing contacts to work with.

It's not unusual to see some businesses that are poorly run/planned or with too little knowledge to be successful in a new idea.
