When the pizza party is too expensive, you go with the EncourageMint

  During university I had a part-time job at a business that sells coachings, seminars and online courses to executives and management. It’s disgusting how these people talk and think about their employees.

  And it’s disgusting what they learned through coachings. It’s always about how to distract or guild trip employees who dare to ask for more money or who don’t work overtime. They aren’t even shy about it.

    It is gross, but I find the honesty a little refreshing.

    Half of the time in meetings I wonder if we’re really trying to accomplish what we’re saying we are or if the whole thing is farcical and driven by ulterior motives.

  I got a paper sack with a note like this and a bag of peanuts and a slim jim (one of the small ones, not the big ones).

    I would be dumping that shit on the ground. And slipping the janitor $10 later for the mess.

      $10 for the janitor, get the fuck outta here, clean your own damn mess or pay up. What’s fucking next, slip me your EncourageMint. This is crazy.

    I got a star-shaped paperweight with my name on it together with 100 dollars worth of gift cards.

    This for two years in a row, because everyone really needs two star-shaped paperweights with their name on them.

    The truth of the above statement is borne out by its sheer pedestrian banality in the sense that it’s not something anyone would ever bother to lie about.

    The sad part about it is that I am a dues-paying union member. One can only imagine how much worse it is for the non-union blokes.

    At least the union gives me a way to fight back and to have a little dignity and self-respect.

      I may join our union but I feel like they’re a captive organization. They negotiated 1.5% cost of living raises for us 2022-2024. We had a lot of old-timers who are retiring with pensions now and they can’t find anybody to hire at the starting wages they have on offer.

  Shit like that is when I start keeping notice of good places around the work place to start fucking fires.*

  Here’s my guess. There was a decent incentive payout, which is why they explicitly mention the +$6m. Some idiot person in HR thought this “mint” play on words would be clever without realizing how it would be exploited. By people like you.

  Six million in extra sales and they give you a life saver? If you only make the shareholders an extra 5 million do they rob your house to make up the difference?

• Gork@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Don’t salespeople make a lot of money on commission if they’re involved in selling expensive equipment? Like, even if they have a 1% commission, if they sell a state of the art MRI machine that goes for $3 million that’s a good $30,000 from just one client alone. Even without a salary, it only takes a few sales per year to make a living wage.

  • phillaholic@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    They can, but $3mil dollar deals don’t just line up outside your office. Getting 3 of those per year like clockwork probably isn’t normal.

    source

    • Gork@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Not normal or everyday perhaps, but the equipment is still needed for other businesses to function.

      Also the notion that sales is the most important department in corporate since they, well, bring in the sales.

    Sales people generally make a commission, but you’re assuming they are selling expensive equipment to begin with. My cousin does inside sales at a tire company, mostly tires for construction vehicles. His commission is based on whether they meet sales numbers, and is considered part of his “normal” income, typically referred to as “on target earnings” or OTE.

    A company that beat their number by $6mil and isn’t popping champagne means they are probably a billion dollar or more corporation.

    Source: I work in pre-sales, get commission, do not get mints or pizza. I did get a $40 credit to our company store, which lets me buy shirts and hoodies with the company logo on it WITH MY OWN MONEY.

  It looks like they were going to give two mints but thought better of the added expenditure.

    They were shipped back to the same sweatshop in Bangladesh to have the 2nd mints ripped off. The whole operation cost the equivalent of 47 pizza parties.

  One of my SOs supervisors actually gave gold stars for good work. These were full grown adults, with children/mortgages/cars and, they thought, professional careers. She had worked there over 30 years when this happened.

  Moral was quite affected by this “genius idea”!
