boss mcscrooge has struck again.
another year of increasing sales and another year of stagnant $
.2% of net sales is pretty fair right?

i don't know

i'm 100% commish sales. I don't get a raise, I don't get a guarantee of anything.
i think most sales jobs reward increases in sales and have incentive trips, prizes, etc to motivate the sales people to do more and better each year.
there was a universal deflation in motivation for everyone who checked their check today and got this "bonus"
the collective mentality across offices is, "whelp, they don't care about me, so I am checking out for the rest of the year"

We did get a $2000 a year raise to replace some incentive plan from last year so that is better in some way. We also would git a gift card. Yesterday was the luncheon and not even a peep about it.

our bonus allocation is down 10% due to Capitol Expenditures
Dec 14, 2018, 12:28 PM
|
|
We are growing so fast and increasing sales so much that we are having to buy equipment (Capitol Expenditures) and we are having to hire management (more people in the pool)
im not complaining but now our trip to the swiss alps is being cut back to ST Kitts.

Him: "Need you to do some work (~3 hrs or so plus trips to UPS)in early January but I want you to bill now so I can get it in this years budget. Just bill me for 2 days of work."
Me: "Doubt it will take that long"
Him: "Merry Christmas"

New gig has me in the "bonus pool" which I am excited about. I am sure that excitement will be a distant memory when I collect my tiny bonus.

Telling my guys this last year how much raise they were getting (it wasn't much percentage-wise) and had to remind them that getting any raise is better than getting some taken away.

Here's how it broke down
Dec 14, 2018, 3:20 PM
|
|
+ Mega bonus - A ton went to taxes. - A slightly less amount went to 401K. - Some went to pay down the WIFE's credit card debt. (that one really really burned) - Bathroom renovation and plantation shutters for the house. - Christmas presents. = a few bucks left for me to buy beer and concert tickets
Now I'm depressed.

Thats why we still have a 10 year old 4runner
Dec 14, 2018, 4:06 PM
|

Everytime my wife says something about getting a new car, I explain to her that she's paying for it.
I imagine if that 4runner is still running when its 20 years old, and I'm still alive, we'll still own it.
