They try to squash any talk of how their practices and policies affect our bottom line. I'm tired of it.
Dear (Owner of company),
It is with a heavy heart that I write to you today. I have been a member of the sales team with (the company) for just under two and a half years. In my time with the company I have been very vocal about several sticking points relating to my position here. Unfortunately, I do not feel the severity of the impact these situations have on us has been fully recognized.
I would like to lay this out for you as clearly as I possibly can to ensure there is absolutely no misunderstanding here.
I know that last year (the company) did over two billion dollars in profits. I know that my position saw a raise that equated to 0.000000000345% of that. I also know that I generate a fair amount of revenue for the company as my metrics consistently show and any manager I have worked under would attest to.
Despite my hard work and dedication, my loyalty to the company is met with what I consider to be a disgraceful and insulting increase in my pay — especially in the information age when I can see what our corporate employees and my mid-level managers all make with a five second search.
I ask you this then — Why am I and my fellow (coworkers) expected to work two jobs to pay our bills? Why are we expected to ask for government assistance to put food on our tables? Why haven't I been able to consistently pay all of my bills rather than picking which one takes a priority? Why do I pay for insurances that I'm too poor to afford to utilize properly?
I have woken up in absolute terror after nightmares of callers and the problems they will face. I have woken up in complete panic that I am late because the company changes holiday schedules on a whim with zero consideration for how it affects affects day to day lives. I DREAD coming into work more than I have ever looked forward to it.
Every opportunity the company has to take our commission and cut part of it out — you take it. You take and you take you and take but give such little back that I feel like a shell of the person I was when I started. I'm now a miserable ball of disappointed and despair.
Why is it that when I say I'm suffering, I want out — it falls on deaf ears? As a company, you will assist with gender transitioning and abortion operations, yet despite inflicting great suffering, you REFUSE to help me end my pain — WHY?!
Until I get clear and direct answers and resolutions my status on the phones will reflect my intents – I will be not ready. As I know this issue affects more than just myself on your sales floor I am including all sales agents in this email, in hopes that they will join me until we see real changes implemented here at (company name)
