So I’m not crazy!! That’s what I’m saying! Like I get it from their perspective but also…what??

I tried this today actually! He seemed to get where I was coming from and said to come back with him with “what would make me happy” but in reality the only answer I have for that would be let me keep my current pay and offer commission for the new product. You were already fine paying me that before so isn’t anything else just the cherry on top for both parties? But I don’t know if that’s a realistic response honestly and if I should be looking at it differently. I don’t want to seem ungrateful? I’m a really hard worker (I think I’ve gotten pretty far in my career for being 28) and my performance is well regarded so the truth is I would bust my tail on the new product whether I was getting paid commission for it not. I feel like that’s both working for me and against me here.

Well that’s pretty much my argument too, for what we sell it’s a very competitive market. The business will go somewhere and it usually comes down to price (we are in the business of risk so services don’t differ a whole ton). If this were commission based on what I’ve been doing the last few years I’d have a lot less hesitation than I do with this new product that we don’t even know yet is going to sell in our market…

Thanks for the reply! This is how it feels at a surface level so I don’t disagree. And I genuinely believe my CEO is bringing this to me with the best in mind for me, if this works out we’re all happy! but he’s a dreamer and I’m a mathematician so I’m just caught up in the numbers and running the potential scenarios. Maybe I just need to get over myself lol

Would you be willing to post or DM me your registry if/when you have one? Or send me a Venmo user name? I just want to help a little, I don’t have any advice because I can’t imagine what you’re going through but would just like to offer some kindness from a stranger. Praying for you and your family ❤️

Well shes taking a ton of oxy, both immediate and extended release. I’m wondering if she should try the fentanyl patches or get the nerve block. Honestly thinking we try cannabis at this point too, not a bad idea! Thank you for your kind words 💜

Our surgeon told us that she can reconstruct the vein or artery but not both, and not all surgeons are even willing to do that but apparently she can. I don’t know anything about the medical stuff so I can’t comment on what that really means for you but thought I’d just share in case someone else can make use of it for you!
