I missed target by 3 percent and got treated like crashed the economy. I am all for accountability, but not public shaming. Why do some leaders treat missed quotas like character flaws?

I hate when they do stuff like this. I have been in your shoes and as a leader myself, there is no need to publicly shame anyone. That is something you talk about in a 1:1.

Agree 💯

Public shaming does nothing but kill morale. Missing target isn’t failure, it’s data — unless leadership prefers blame over learning.

Last year when Covid broke, I received a couple of interview calls but ignored them as I felt the organization kept me at work when other companies cut short their HR staff so I should be with them even if with no appraisal. But now, I was living in the fool's paradise when I am told to leave with no job offers in hand, car and home loan, dependent parents, expecting jobless spouse with a 3-year old kid.

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

I have an MBA from the University of Chicago, not that it matters much in sales. I have always been in a consulting role but I think I can make more in sales. I have a competitive personality and I am bored.
