Bad Sales Orgs Make Me Sad…

Reading some of the posts on here are so shocking.  Just today alone I've seen 

1) someone whos pay was changed to hourly with no notice. 

2) someone who has to share a room with a coworker on conference/business trip 

3) another company who has a boiler room "recco" style process for routing leads. 

4) another company that lowers commission rate after a rep hits 125% of target

WTH are some of these sales orgs/leaders thinking? please know that there are great sales jobs out there, please go find them. life's too short to sell for shitty company/bosses.

If anything those who are posting are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with how some of our orgs are treating us, and with the current job landscape the power is in their hands to demand better or move on.

I'm surprised some of those orgs are still out there.    I'm glad they're posting those things, though, so they can get affirmation that the treatment is not normal, nor should they put up with it, which at the end of the day is a net positive.

How would you recommend weeding out the bad companies like this when searching for a new position?

You gotta ask tough questions and judge their reactions. This is why it's always easier to find a good job while working one you don't have to leave.

I just had this when asked some tough qs of a company that was recruiting me. I could see the CEO getting flustered and almost offended, knew right there that org was not for me.

Still waiting for the offer tho as wanna see what they think I'm worth.

Plain and simple, there are bad companies out there that think they can make bad decisions with no repercussions. One way or another the bill always comes due.
