Headcount Vs Store Quota

If a store has a quota $50,000 and there are 5 reps, each rep would have an individual target of $10,000 in that particular month to meet target. Now let’s say 1 rep gets terminated due to a pip and the store only has 4 reps. Their individual target... — read more 

Integrity is not what they do....

I spent years at Verizon Wireless thinking what other job will allow me to flex, work from home, and pay me a decent amount. This thought process kept me trapped and unhappy. I decided to take a leap and take the severance because I was... — read more

Expect to see your Director and Sr Director that much less often. (if they even make face, ha!) Unfortunately for any Ops analysts, they aren't being backfilled so now they gotta pick up the slack.

Frontline beatdown

How many Frontline workers yesterday in the face the outage were bitched at for metrics? Still should be pitching second number and new lines on quotes! Use this as an opportunity! Disgusting

Where art thou leadership?!

After getting battered and beaten on the front lines by angry mobs of customers due to the network outage, why has there been ZERO communication from upper leadership? Easy to not care I suppose when it’s not all in your face.
