I’m tired of being coached on my soft skills when I’m the only one on the team actually hitting my revenue targets. My manager wants me to improve my CRM hygiene and attend more workshops, even though I’m 120% to goal and the hygiene experts are all at 60%. If the revenue is there, why do companies still obsess over the process metrics that don't actually pay the bills?

A tale as old as time. I'd like to think that leadership needs CRM info to make decisions about the business, which in turn will help it all grow, but reality is that for the most part they need something to talk about on endless forecast calls to justify thst big salary.

I can’t get over how meaningless my life is. I feel stuck in a dark tunnel with no light at the end. I don’t know what I’m doing in life. It’s overwhelming and makes me cry over every little thing.

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.

Hi everyone, I got hired on as entry level sales operations role back in January. It quickly turned into sales, and eventually all the sales for the small company once the head of sales left. I am happy to take on the additional role for my company, and they are going to let me. But they feel that without multiple people in a sales department the title head of sales might not be the best title. I have input in what my updated position title and salary would be. What should I ask for?

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…?
