I handed in my notice and my VP countered with a package that is making it incredibly hard to walk out the door. My current spot is a $115k base with a $190k OTE, but it’s a total meat grinder. The new offer is a $135k base with a $210k OTE and a much chiller vibe. However, my boss just offered me a $40k cash stay bonus if I commit to another 12 months. Have any of you ever taken the counter-offer and actually stayed the full year?

You have already made your decision to leave - don’t take the stay bonus. They will just use the time to find your replacement.

You made this decision obviously because you are tired and feeling like you need something better. They had their chance. It's over.

Not being mean but when through lot rough jobs n dont have one like me n has gad bought go , crappy bosses and been teally trying then complain. Till they I be happy make 50k year sometimes think this world has gotten greedy n its more about cash then happiness!! Just thought....

That bonus is only to keep you on long enough to find and train your replacement. After that, they will dispose of you. Better to walk away than be unceremoniously thrown out in a few months.

I'm not in sales per se but I manage my company's largest wholesale account ($150 million per/yr account). It's a great company, awesome culture, good benefits, flexibility, but the pay is not great ($60K/yr). All the pros outweighed the mediocre pay, but now with inflation rising, my paycheck isn't going as far and I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out if I should start looking elsewhere or if I should ask my boss for a raise.

I am planning on asking for a raise in my base salary and I am unsure what the market price would be for my skills at a staffing agency. I am in the top producer at my company with over 50 producers. I generate an average of $120k in GM per quarter. I am approaching my first year end review and I am currently at a base salary of $70,000 and I have 3 years of prior experience in the industry. What should I be asking for in this situation?

I feel like I've been lowballed, can someone explain the below breakdown please?

Base salary: 60k
Quarterly quota (per quarter): 107k
Quarterly bonus (per annum): 23k
130% Annual bonus = 11.5k
"23% commission on quota minus base": 37k (don't understand this)
"Proposed 23% commission on 150% quota minus base": 86.5k
Sales commission threshold per month: 22k
OTE: 122k
Cost/Sales: 28%

That base salary is lower than my previous base by a significant amount by 32.7%

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
