Abruptly terminated for no rational reason on 8/12 after just fucking lighting it up for 8-months in sales leadership seat as previously posted here: https://bravado.co/war-room/posts/an-entirely-new-level-of-unforced-fuckery.
I get a call a week later from #1 largest current customer, who I brought in this past March, telling me they were sorry to hear I was gone. Asked if they could do anything to help, including leverage their business to get me back in. I most gratefully declined the offer. The gesture almost knocked me off the wound licking chair though.
2-days later they call again. "Hey listen, is there any chance you'll be going back there? Any chance at all?" With all due respect and all required diplomacy, I told them that "flaming bats would sooner fly out of my ass."
"Would you consider working for us," they asked. "Why yes," I replied. "I most certainly would consider that."
Roll it forward 2-weeks. I just got done filling out the new fields in Paylocity. Higher base. Higher OTE. And all of this, quite conveniently, with the authority to cancel anything I want with any fuckkkkered up vendor that may not be delivering per MSA.
It's a big ex-hale with a side of pre-enabled revenge. It's also a serious reminder that we, as street creatures, no matter what happens, absolutely must protect our good name and treat every new opportunity as if it was immediate family.
Take care of your new customers, kids. One never knows when they'll become your next employer. Goddammm... what a country. I'm gonna put on my pink pussy hat and patriotically watch a debate tonight.ย
