A loved one had two HUGE deals
out for signing.
He expected them back
on the same day.
First thing
in that day,
he was laid off
with cause.
What was the cause?
The company wouldn’t say.
But I suspect
it was landing
those large deals.
The company,
a FORCEful presence
in SALES,
has used the same tactic
in the past,
f*cking salespeople
out of six figure plus commissions.
To get those commissions,
the salespeople would have
to take the company to court
and rulings have been very favorable
to big business lately.
Don’t assume
you’ll ever be paid commission.
Negotiate for higher
base salaries.
And prepare to be fired
when you land a big dollar deal.
