ONE love, blood, life
The Dictatorship= The Dealership where I sell cars..
Iam well like by half the managers and the majority of the sales reps
Anyway this month the managers implented a large cash bonus program for the top 40 percent of the sales force..
The top 7 would recieve between 4000- 3000 depending where they placed in sales volume rank..There are 16 sales reps tho..
They are a total of 16 sales reps ..
The bottom 9 were to recieve NOTHING, yes NOTHING..Nada Zilch..
These 9 CONTRIBUTED to the 150 cars that were sold COLLECTIVELY to help the dealership receive enough profit to pay out this bonus money- to the Top 7.
I was going to be 1 of the 7..in the money
I felt guilty for my commrades who were close to my 3000 bonus who HELPED the store w their efforts..and would recieve no money..
In a sales meeting I spoke out against this flawed program.
Some middle managers bristled..
Some managers agreed w me privately..
It was suggested by the General Manager that my idea was noble and I circulate a petition..to restructure the bonus money.
I was told that they would redistribute the bonus money if all sale reps would agree..
I got 14 outta 16 signatures and then was asked to stop..
The bristling middle-managers hated that their flawed program was about to b exposed
They meddled in the petition signing having 2 salesmen not sign it.
With this flimsy excuse "w/o NOT EVERBODY being 100 percent for a change -(I only had 85 per-cent) they sheeplishly said- " Sorry Dave no changes to the bonus program"
They told 2 not to sign..
I felt a tiny bit like Bono w Debt Relief and The Aids/Africa Crisis
-Always someone there to fu#k up a good idea.
My personal solution was I took my personal bonus money and spent it on all the petion-signers..at a local watering hole
I also extended the invitation to the 2 hold outs and bristling middle managers..
They didnt show up.
Iam currently thinking of changing dictatorships..
