What would you say is the one thing that keeps you going in a sales job? Apart from the money. I'm sure most of us stick it out to get that dough, but if that wasn't in the picture, what do you think is the driving force?

I like the variety. Money is the biggest thing that keeps me here, but I do like that it isn’t the same every day.

I don't enjoy sales, but I am really good at it. The only reason I do it is because of the money, so I have a hard time thinking of any other motivation.

I have great teammates.

OP, what is your driving force?

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team.

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations.

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…
