Another salesperson got cut loose today. The guy who just got let go seemed to be doing fine, but apparently it wasn't enough. Sell more! Sell more! is all that's on The Boss's mind. I know it's important to keep the company profitable, but come on, there's only so much one person can do. A couple months ago, he canned a salesperson who had been here for several years. There's no mercy here. Do you see why I feel so tense in my workplace, where Damocles dangles his sword over every cubicle?
Might I take a moment to point out a shitty double standard that pervades the white-collar world? Employees are expected to be slavishly dedicated to their company and their superiors. Speak positively of the company in all conversations. Bring back sales leads. Give 110% in all your work. Is such loyalty ever reciprocated? Fuck no. You're a powerless serf, toiling away in a fluorescent-lit fiefdom where you can be be tossed out on your ass like last week's trash if the quality of your slaving slips just a little bit.
