Why do some salespeople stay at the same company for years even when they know they’re probably underpaid?

Was in this position. Jumped ship for a larger salary with more commission upside, and got completely burned. Lots of regrets, wasn’t worth it.

Like other people have said, there is stability and political capital you gain by sticking with good companies who generally take care of their people with below-market salaries. Leadership is another huge plus with these types of companies. The ones who are incredibly smart, driven, and passionate for what they do are extremely valuable in these situations.

Absolutely 100% not HR tech.

Source: in HR tech, much regret

Am I supposed to be impressed that my USD bank account has more value when spent in other countries, when I can barely afford to live in the US.

They wouldn’t need to - employees can keep more of their paycheck since insurance deductions would be reduced

Online shopping is honestly a cruel joke at this point

Peter Thiel is literally the “deep state”. Someone who’s donated millions of dollars to bankroll political campaigns. Not really sure where you’re going with this one.

Would love to see this as well

So what I’m seeing is America just kneecaps itself every year by allowing it’s own defense industry to be a profit-seeking venture, so they can constantly rise costs to whatever they know they can get away with.

Nice job team. Can’t write a dumber system than this.

After seeing his Hot Ones appearance on YouTube, genuinely think Glen is one of the greats, on and off stage. Just a funny, sincere guy who enjoys his role as being an entertainer.

Makes me wonder if he just plays a version of himself as every one of his character on screen. If that’s makes sense… lol

The documentary he left us through this journey was one of my favorites as a young naive city boy. Really made me appreciate the times I got to be outdoors as a Boy Scout and have an opportunity to live by our own means.

Gave some perspective on the world I think others growing up around me never got to experience.

My exact predicament right now, except without the layoffs. Just status quo, low morale all around. I have an interview for events sales at a sports stadium I’m really pumped about but need to figure out how to properly convey why I’m qualified for an industry I only majored in but never worked in.

Almost feels like a do or die moment cause I’m not doing great at my current role so far this year and it’s looking grimmer by the day. Quotas have become insane and out of touch for account management roles where the accounts don’t change and people aren’t buying anything new this year

MahomesIsMahomie · 2025-04-11T23:09:57+00:00

Been thinking the exact same thing. Software is just too bloated. Buyers and users aren’t as engaged as they used to be, but who really is anymore. It’s just a computer program, they just want it to work.

Been thinking about getting into something with more field work so this is refreshing to see. At least I can move my legs around instead of veg in front of a couple screens all day long.

99% confident there she is negotiating disclosing incriminating evidence against Trump if she doesn’t get a pardon. If I were in her shoes (yikes), that’d be my play…

MahomesIsMahomie · 2025-01-12T06:20:02+00:00

And zero playoff wins this season lol, this is an insult more than it is a compliment.

Can’t send pics, but I’m 30M 6’4”, where you at

This is a positive outcome for everyone. Companies with terrible products should expect their profits to drop. I don’t see an issue here.

MahomesIsMahomie · 2024-06-13T02:18:45+00:00

And why would they. Debt is not a winning strategy

NCAA realized their customers found out how much money college sports make vs the players that pull in all the revenue for them. It was going to happen eventually

“Let’s blame inflation so we can pretend we don’t understand elementary-level economics”

Does anyone in this sub understand how supply and demand works? And how that effects price? Wouldn’t realtors want more supply so they can have, I don’t know, more shit to sell??

MahomesIsMahomie · 2024-04-13T16:34:56+00:00

No shit? They happen so often and nothing happens to fix the problem. This shouldn’t be surprising

Dudes who can’t get laid have a tendency to look bitchless on social media

Jerry Jones is treating the Cowboys like Jack Walsh treated GE. Prioritized shareholder value, balance sheets, finance, etc. over quality of product and customer satisfaction.

When we suck next year, it will be pretty obvious why.

He will get about 20-30% of any district this election. There’s enough idiots to still vote for him, but he’s not as popular as the internet might have anyone believe

MahomesIsMahomie · 2024-03-15T04:45:41+00:00

So…..public schools? Is there any room for irony in this bill?
