Had a meeting this morning about how we need to have a good attitude while we are at work. Every Saturday we have a meeting about how the sales people need to make changes. We've made the business more profitable than ever, year after year. We clearly voice things other departments could improve to help sales. Nothing. We clearly voice things that sales management could do to help productivity and customer experience. nothing. We constantly voice frustration with our poor payscale. no response. I need to ask before I leave work for the day. I need to ask before I take a 7 minute lunch. Even though I'm going to get fucked around instead of a “go ahead.”
My personal sales were up 26% last year, and I'm showing similar growth this year. I get paid only from commision. I work 50-60 hour weeks. Please explain to me why my attitude needs to always be positive when my problems with my workplace and the tension thats created has nothing to do with me or the rest of the salespeople. My attitute is a response to a shitty work environment.
