So I havent posted anything here on my journal for awhile but I thought I would get some stuff off my chest.
I guess I will start off with what i going on with me and my work. I have always been pretty devoted to my job I have been there for 10 years , I am in sales and I sell Computer accessories like toner cart, Dat tapes, mailing supplies copier and fax supplies the whole gammit.
And I have made pretty good money but there has always been a political structure at work and its always bothered me. Once there was a room with about 30 salespeople all doing the same job and pretty much making almost around the same pay. We had a manager who decided to take in a salesperson as an assistant manager.
As an assistant manager there were perks but also his business seemed oddly to almost double as if the manager was kicking him down some serious accounts. He kept it on the downlow but it was always apparent. Later the manager quit the job and low and behold the assistant manager was given the managers position. The difference here is we never had a sales person/ manager at the same time. If you were a manager you had no accounts but the owners decided it would be ok to do it this way. Of course as a manager now he had all the power to gain more and more like a tyrant
especially when a salesperson would leave the company he would skim the top of the accounts for himself and give away the bones to the rest of the crew and sure enough alot of people kept leaving. Now maybe I am headstrong I always thought the best way to get an account was to earn it yourself but if an account was given to me I will work it as best as I can as well but when your seeing those who kiss ass gain more and more accounts and almost double their income overnight it leaves you feeling unjust. Such as when the manager made another person assistant manager and next thing you know that persons pay doubled almost evernight.
the worst thing was being taken in the back for monthly overviews and being compared to the success of the others when all my work was genuine I always refused to kiss ass and I do my own thing i figuered it was just a matter of time and something is gonna break.
Well to try and make a short story in the last 3 weeks or so we lost a salesperson who I eneded up getting a decent amount of his accounts they finally did a equal split amongst us all of course the manager got his, then a week later the assistant manager decided to leave the company. Now he is leaving the company but he is going to still work his accounts somewhere else but I knew the owner has no choice but to issue me some serious accounts after being there for 10 years now i finally have some accounts to deal with also i am not afraid of competition now I will win over these accounts i am going to take all that aggression and use it against him at his new company. Not to mention I have better sales skills and customer service skills as well as work ethics. Well this was the case up until Friday. The end of the day THE MANAGER also said he will be leaving the company as well most likely will be doing the same thing elsewhere and now I am in for some really big shit as far as accounts and competition. This could be the greatest thing for me the only thing I am worried about is for one i dont know if i would want a manager job and another I just dont want the owner to throw in the towel because i have yet begun to fight. Who knows I just may increase my paycheck by thousands of dollars just by having held my mud all this time and not kissing ass or overly compaining. All I had to do was hold out
I mean shit I know have seniority over the remaining 8 people left. With all this will come an enourmous responsibility. But Im not too worried about it , we will see.
