I’m a hater. I hate on employees/coworkers who do nothing but sit in on meetings all day and get to log off exactly at 5 if not earlier. Tired of all the TikTok’s of people shopping/going out and doing no work on their WFH days. And I hate how most of them get paid more than me. Sorry for the negativity I just needed to vent!

What kind of Sales Engineer doesn’t work from home? Either you should be traveling to customers with all the perks of travel (keeping your points etc) or remote demos should be done from home where you more likely have a better controlled environment. I ensure I have good lighting at home, better camera and not just the laptop camera, multiple monitors (minimum 3) . Offices are noisy and are horrible places to just do a customer remote demo. WFH is a benefit to sales and any company that doesn’t see that for sales engineers is missing out.

I’m an inside sales engineer. Essentially work with another sales engineer who lives in the territory as inside support so I assist with the quoting, answering customer calls and anything else to keep my TSE on the road in front of customers.

Hey, let it rip! Venting is healthy for you. I'm totally with you on people posting to social media when they're working from home. It's no wonder the top management always thinks people working remotely are totally gaming the system. Some of them are making a point of doing exactly that!

I’m a parent in a dual income household where my wife doesn’t have much flexibility to pick up the kids every day. If it makes you feel better, I stop doing meetings around 4pm at the latest, but most of my hard work and demo building happens between 9pm to 1-2am when I need to catch up. Despite looking like I work less than 8 hours a day on the surface, I’ve been meeting my quota every year I’ve been here. Hopefully many of your colleagues are doing what they can to contribute to your team’s success. Work delivery is different for everyone. I have a colleague with severe ADHD who can go on beast mode for 16-18 hours straight, then play video games/sleep all day to destress.

I actually work closely with our business development team! They are essentially outside technical sales reps at my current company not sure what that title does at other places. And yea I think this has been going on since before the pandemic but it was a lot quieter. During that pandemic these PM’s at big tech would post day in the life videos of them doing absolutely nothing and getting paid extremely well. And most of these roles only seem to hire from top schools so looks like they did the work on the front end (high school) to land that opportunity.

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures.
