back in 2000, I brought in $2.5 million in PROFIT for my company. Not sales, profit. Now, I was paid commission so I wasn't expecting a big bonus or anything, but at the end fo the year "holiday" celebration when they stopped everything to recognize the three top salespeople of the company I thought, wow. I wonder what it's going to be.
They gave me a box the size of something clothing would be found in.
I wondered! Oh.... plane tickets to Europe? Maybe a Rolex??? I mean $2.5 million in profit It's gotta be something AWESOME!!!!
It was........
get this.......
A black nylon Addidas running suit (that was too small) and a plastic pen with my company's logo on it.
It was then and there that I knew I was going to stop working for the company and stay around long enough until I could milk them for all my outstanding commissions and until all my existing customers hated me because I was not proactive in the least.
It took a good 6-8 months of doing absolutely nothing before they really started to make overtures that my job was in jeopardy. So I just stopped showing up for days at a time.
