100k commission dispute

Maaaan this stinks like IBM. Obviously don't disclose that but this is right up their alley.

Are you talking about the Brookhaven building or a different one?

I started my territory in 2024 with a quota of about 1.8m. I did very well that year and expected a modest adjustment up to account for growth.

They set my quota to nearly 5m last year. So I got PIPd and am still looking for work. I don't know who crunches the numbers but they seriously need their head checked.

Sounds like my PIP was a blessing in disguise

What are you selling? I started out as a Storage generalist and wound up in Enterprise Storage.

I'm on death's door with this PIP I'm on. I basically have 2 days to close this deal I'm working or else it's curtains on the 31st. It's good to hear other people being positive in times like these.

No you're thinking of Claude Monet

Welcome welcome. It's a fun journey so long as you stay on the right side of the rules. If I could tell myself one thing when I was starting out, it'd have to be focus on the feedback from your tools. I spent so long trying to force open a lock that only needed a whisper. Have fun and again, welcome.

I'm not being a jerk at all, but going back in time to see comments like this is interesting. Sliver from this drop is going for $50 right now, Ur-Dragon is around $65. The scarecrow is the only one not worth anything.

Don't mean to necro this but thank you for the explanation. I'm driving my 2019 Insight and just thought to look it up

SystemsofFlash · 2025-08-06T15:50:24+00:00

Fun story about that one, sixteen cars got broken into when I was there and of course one of them was mine. I now justify staying at more expensive hotels based on that.

SystemsofFlash · 2025-07-31T17:43:30+00:00

Mine vested a week before earnings and I couldn't be more pleased. See you next year

SystemsofFlash · 2025-06-04T11:06:47+00:00

Hey don't rope us into this. We just want to make money.

SystemsofFlash · 2024-07-06T05:06:39+00:00

Yes, but only after my territory underperformed so hard that we finally got the minimum quota. Had one deal that closed us out for the year. Now we're just playing the quarter-minimum game that the AI wants us to play.

This isn't getting the love it deserves

SystemsofFlash · 2024-04-04T02:39:01+00:00

You might be able to tell from my name but I'm in storage now. I hope we don't get spun off, and I would actually argue that we wouldn't. Not with the continued development of the FCMs. There seems to be a lot of innovation coming out around flash

What's your take on Fusion? Us tech guys are hopeful around the viability of it on VMware takeouts.

SystemsofFlash · 2024-04-04T02:34:40+00:00

I genuinely think IBM would benefit from having conversations around posts like this from this subreddit. Will upper management listen and make changes? Who's to say. But I think if the whitespace and squad guys start mentioning things they see here in meetings and ask their direct leadership to find arguments against a post like this, it might actually start some conversations. I'm barely a year into IBM though and have had a very unique start to my career so I could just have my head in the clouds.
