We’re getting close to the new year and my brain is already jumping ahead to next year’s number. Part of me is excited for a clean slate, but part of me is dreading the “here’s your new quota” meeting. I never really know if I should push for details or just nod and smile. How do you handle that moment when leadership reveals the new targets?

We have pushed back the past 2 years in a row because of how unrealistic the numbers were. They didn't care, and unsurprisingly, quotas weren't met. I'm sure it will be the same for us next year.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
