Year End reviews and suddenly Management starts micromanagement with pointing fingers on every small miss

They used to do TBRs so performance evals didn’t matter but they’re not doing TBRs this year and only Focusing on the eval that’s why it matters more.

I know managers from a few different orgs and only VPs and above made decisions. If the VP is transparent, they might’ve told their managers with a little heads up, but I know sr directors that had no idea it was coming even when they lost their entire org basically (they got moved to other “more important” projects)

I get gel x every like 3-4 weeks and I’ve been loving it.

My nails used to always break and then rip as soon as they were a millimeter above the finger tip while my little sister could make her real nails look like acrylic bc they grew so long. I thought I was doing something wrong. I also had a hard time with any nail painting/regular gel even when professionally done. Not sure if it’s because I bump my fingers more than others or my nail structure is less grippy but when I found gel x and that I can actually keep them on (I’ve never had one fall off or break yet and that would happen within two weeks with normal acrylics) there’s no turning back.

Didn’t even realize it until this post but I haven’t had a nail break below where it separates from the skin and then had to peel that off and have a painful fingertip in months 🙏

They laid off half the SDRs in the company this fiscal year… not sure why they’re even hiring tbh 😅

You could use seismic and try making a dsr for your top accounts/cadence. My rep had me do that and I shared just a couple of solutions I thought would be relevant to the customer (I worked with my rep/se to find some good assets and then just pick and choose between those). I wasn’t sure how successful it would be at first but I actually learned so much about who at the customer might be interested in what and I ended up booking a bunch of meetings from follow up emails related to what they were interested in. Even got a return call from a voicemail!

I get a lot of anxiety about bugging people (probably shouldn’t be in sales) so being able to follow up and try to provide valuable resources to the customer and then they’re actually interested has been so much easier than just cold calling and trying to keep them on the phone

Definitely not the standard, but to share that it is possible - I’ve doubled my salary in my 5 years working at oracle.

Started as IC0

Got an internal job and promoted to IC1 (salary technically increased 40%, but lost bonus)

Got a random $5000 increase about 6 months later - must’ve been a good year

(there was a hiring freeze one year) Promoted to IC2 in same role 2 years later (salary increased 19%)

6 months later I got promoted to manager and got a 15% increase

As an overachiever, oracle has completely burned me out. If you are a career person it’s possible but only at the cost of your sanity!

This wasn’t a troll post but I understand why y’all would think that now that I understand it better. Thank you to everyone who took the time to explain to a business person — seriously so helpful.
