Walk us through a typical day as a Rep, I generally get started about 10 am by first going and buying coffee for an office but I drink at least two of them and buy coffee for two or three people in line so it looks like I am buying for an office. Then I sit in my car and review the list of errands I have to accomplish while I am out before the offspring get out of school. So then I knock a few of those off my list as I pass by offices and log calls randomly for whoever might be in. After that I head to the gym so I can keep the money maker in shape enough to keep Dr Joe Blow happy enough when I do come by. After the gym I run another errand or two that is if I don’t have some stupid conference call with the so called management thinking they are gonna change something with a product that has been out for nearly 20 years and is a total flop from a marketing perspective. After that I head home around 2 so that I can make sure my calls are entered, corporate compliance trainings are all up to date so no one is looking in my backyard. Then after that I might have a couple glasses of wine given the little Fuck Trophies will be home soon. Making sure all the boxes are checked and miles are put on the car. This makes it looks like I’m working for probably about an hour a day for the week. So I reality I probably only do about 15 -45 minutes of actual work and that’s usually to make it look like I am working. It’s not that I’m lazy. I just don’t care and I don’t give a damn about the company, It’s a problem of motivation. Because if I work my ass off and see a few extra units show up on a sales report that is 3 months old, I may make a few bucks for a quarter but then the goal growth requirement escalates and then I miss goal and don’t make shit! So if I don’t do shit and goals reset I eventually look like a master of sales. Especially when one looks at other territories that have half the volume even after 20 years and those territories don’t sell enough to even cover their annual compensation. I don’t see another dime so where’s the motivation!!! Additionally my boss is just looking out for herself right now so that means when I make a mistake I have her up my ass and I continually have to justify to her inept menial brain. That’s my only real motivation is not to be hassled for the fear of losing my job as if actually had to work I would not now what the hell to do!!! This makes someone work just hard enough not to get fired!!!!!
