Show them the door.
If that's not possible, avoid working with them.
If that's not possible, stay objective, straight up ignore the snark and pretend like they gave an appropriate answer, and report all bad work to whatever partner(s) have authority to reprimand or fire.

If the "snarky" assistant is always irritable, ill-tempered, and/or sarcastic, then he or she is in the wrong line of work. Does the person behave that way with clients or only with staff?

Does anyone still have the Verizon grandfathered unlimited phone plan? I’ve had it on a family plan w/my mom for years, but wondering if I should give it up since I mainly kept it to stream video while traveling without worrying about being throttled, but I’m not traveling anytime soon. If you had it and switched to a cheaper plan, do you regret switching? My mom was offered a 55+ unlimited plan open only to Florida residents, but I saw reports online that people had trouble with throttling.

Been working for my company for over a year now. 14/15 months. Started me at 48k after college. No pay increase yet, I travel and do sales for an engineering company. Projects and products I sell can range from 5k-4million. But I don’t make commission, and neither do my co-workers. We’re a relatively small company. Where do I start the conversation with my boss on commission? And what are some of you other account managers/traveling sales people make?
