What's the harshest thing your Buyer has ever said to you?

Ex: Buyer emailed my colleague "instead of sharing photos of our empty shelves why don't you spend your time getting us more product"

That I’ll never get more of their business because we wanted to get paid on a receive-able that was 90 days past due. That wasn’t the worst, the buyer said it to me with his chair and back to me.

Death threats due to software /hardware not working causing massive outages & thousands of dollars in losses. Not my current employer.

Hi, Cognizant said after the HR Round I'll receive a mail that will have 'Click here' url to fill Online Candidate Information Sheet. I received that email but that mail doesn't have any link to submit online CIS.
I tried calling both HR and Recruiter, they're neither picking up my calls nor answering my emails. As far as I know they won't release my offer letter without that Online CIS form.
What should I do now?

I applied few weeks ago to Moon Active’s QA bootcamp. Received a decline. I reapplied few weeks later while adding a personal note describing that I started taking few relevant Udemy courses.

Is it unacceptable to reapply for a job you’re dreaming about ? Is there anything to do now?

This may not be the Bowl to realize how awful the housing problem in our city is—given the many laments of not finding suitable apartments for $3,000 /month budgets. But good to occasionally remember that NYC household median income is $67,046 and is only $42k in the borough of Bronx. Imagine how challenging it is for so many families in our city to find affordable housing as we price out so many New Yorkers.

13 yr outside Sales Experience in the B2B space, multiple roles/companies. Current quota is $15MCAD, I usually do not bad in quota but lately has shifted to rewarding medicorciy and "pooling" some numbers countrywide which i really dont like.
Current comp is $85k Base and $115 OTE with a ceiling of $150k CAD/$120k US. Feel it's too little for my experience and they are taking perks away by the day.
Thinking of moving to I tech sales? Anyone else do it? What's comp look like?
