| Just for the record.... working for GC isn't a picnic either. It's hard, you're underpaid, you have to sell a ton to get your commission, and then you have to sell a ton more to get a commission worth a damn. Not saying it excuses anything, but there's a reason why they can't hold onto good employees. getting promoted, ha, that's easy - you'd think it'd actually mean more money, but it often times it actually means less (higher commission = higher quota, when the salesguy, if he was lucky, was making his quota before).
And there isn't just tremendous pressure to sell, but to sell certain items - (the margin is usually good, and it's *new*). And on some items, there just isn't a margin... it's entirely possible to sell $8k worth of keyboard and only make the company $500. Really.
Not saying that it excuses usually GC dumbass-ness, but just not ain't always easy on the other side. |
