Kinda curious how long this will last.
Perhaps a “why?” is appropriate. I'm a gen x'er in a tech adjacent field and work in sales enablement. Sales teams are highly comped, selfish, lazy and will only work where commission is involved. My role is to ensure client value/vision/desired outcomes are realized post sale. There is absolutely no incentive for me to work (uncompetitive pay/comp/benefits,, strength of dollar relative to cost of goods) and good work is only rewarded with more work. Get better/more effective at your job, guess what you earned…
Boomer Management has recently recognized that the world is changing and they haven't been able to keep up. They're strategy is “I don't really understand and need you to explain it to me” and “I need you to simplify the process, identify it end-to-end, codify it, build use cases, complete proof-of-concepts and then train the sales team… on how to explain it… so you can have more work” Are you going to pay me? Ensure I have equity stake tied to my time, skills, sweat? Are you going to give me any authority to drive/enforce process? No? NO? NO!… yeah, I quit man. I fucking quit.
So fucking stupid.
