You must be pleasant to work with, I mean miserable. If someone does not close because the opposite party did not move forward with the deal that does not make them a weak link. She could not have controlled the outcome of a sale.

Anyway. That was really heartbreaking to watch. She really composed herself and kept it professional. I know my call would have ended fast because you would not hear anything but bleeps. Sucks. She sounds smart, so I doubt it has anything to do with her performance. Sounds like she was still under the 90 day mark. EZ target to dissolve. Welcome to Murica baby.

Often times, these big corporations outsource the parting task with other organizations. I experienced two since 2020. My advice to anyone reading this. Do the bare minimum. They do not give a f about you. 2024 is going to be a shit show. Good luck to everyone. Remember, whoever you are, whatever the circumstance you are facing, you matter!




Imagine working in sales and not understanding that you are expected to actually sell.

PS - she obviously did not matter enough.


First of all, no need to call somebody miserable when they were polite in their comment to begin with.

I agree they might not be a weak link, but if a company needs to cut costs and the data shows they're not performing, it makes sense for them to be cut. It's not anything personal -- we're in a tough economic environment and living in a capitalistic society means that this can happen.


Did you just create a new account so you can defend your own comment lol.
