Remember that CEO that loves/hates me?

I started in Q3 with a company (literally right at the start of Q3) and didn't get any commission for renewals because I was 'too new'. Fair enough.


Q4 ends and it's basically my bread & butter for the whole year, so I'm stoked that I'm getting renewals & a pay out.


2 days before this paycheck is supposed to drop, my CEO pulls a 'you'll only get paid 50% of this because you haven't been here a full year yet.' NOWHERE in my comp plan does it mention this kind of pay scale. There's a shitty clause I argued when I started saying the CEO has all power to decide what does or doesn't get paid.

Naturally, I was furious and went to my supervisor to be like What the ACTUAL FUCK. Argued that I've been working my ass off, have saved multiple accounts from churning, have strong relationships with customers, etc.

He manages to convince the CEO to give me full pay... but that I should expect some more clearly defined fine print in upcoming comp plans.


This is not the first time since I've started that I feel singled out to not get paid something I earned (example: we had a contest that I clearly won, he decided to extend the contest until others were at a level near me. I still won, but he awarded someone else as a 'surprise bonus' because he thought they put in a good effort).



.... I love my boss. I love my coworker. But my CEO is not fucking cool.


Anyway... glad to get paid, but pissed that I had to cry to my boss about it first.


Anyone else get dicked around like this?

Every day I log into this app I see more situations where I canโ€™t understand why the fuck someone would allow themselves to be treated this way. Where the fuck is everyoneโ€™s sense of self worth?

Thatโ€™s what this community is for. Weโ€™re all in the same profession and we now have a place where we can commiserate stupid shit that happens to us and get support from fellow Sales Warriors. Bravado for the win, yโ€™all

I dunno, well before this community, that's still a shocker.ย  ย In this day and age, that this kind of whim is even occurring in a workplace is a surprise.ย  ย Or maybe I'm just naive.

This is what your work life will be like as long as that "CEO" is there.ย

Yeah, wondering how heโ€™s going to get screwed over this time. No way to live, imo.

Yeah, this is bullshit, and you shouldnโ€™t have to deal with this garbage. Thereโ€™s too many jobs out there for sales rep paying a crap load of money for you to be taking stupid nonsense like this

In what world does this kind of thing actually happen?ย  ย

Sounds like my time would be spent filling out job applications instead of blowing out my sales pipeline
