Would anyone like to help me draft an open letter to my company. This is what I’ve got.

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…

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)
