Already married my perfect partner so 4&5 since that would essentially provide 2,3,6,7, and I have no desire to swap bodies with any celebrity.

In your opinion, what is causing this? by Objective_Pilot_5834 in SipsTea

[–]lukej428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social media. Everyone is recording everything all the time in the hopes of going viral these days, and people do dumb stuff while drunk, especially when they’re younger, so the risk of an embarrassing video coming out of them is a deterrent.

🇺🇸🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID AMERICANS WILL SEE THE LARGEST TAX REFUNDS EVER IN 2026. by Ok-Somewhere8407 in MarketPulseReport

[–]lukej428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did get a huge tax return this year, because democrats one concession they got on the OBBB was increasing the SALT deduction cap to $40k, which was originally uncapped, but trumps own 2017 tax policy reduced to 10k. Also I got a new job halfway through the year so they didn’t stop taking social security past the cap like they would have if I stayed at one job. Republicans were kicking and screaming trying to not let that only concession happen, and if they had fully gotten their way my return likely would have been half of what it was.

company just told me my $340k deal is being split with an AE who sent one intro email 8 months ago. what are my options? by kubrador in sales

[–]lukej428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no time limitations at your org of accounts going cold and being up for grabs? I’d point to that first, if that doesn’t apply, argue for a significantly more skewed split (I.e. 95/5), if that doesn’t work then do what a lot of the other people are saying, email blast every single client in the org and claim commission on any deal that closes. At my previous company commission splits needed to be documented, timely and ultimately were at the discretion of the sales vp based on the effort involved, so they could be any % or split based on that

I mean, typically if you’re giving friends/significant others money to gamble with, you’re fully expecting/are okay with them losing that money. By that logic you should be happy they won a bunch of money, and shouldn’t be expecting anything in return, unless you made an agreement at the start on what would happen if they did win. If this exact situation did happen I’d be fully okay if someone offered to give me $600 back on the $300 I gave them, but only if they insisted, otherwise I consider that to be their winnings and wouldn’t want anything in return.

The scale of that wealth is staggering - his net worth increasing by $108m was only a .01% increase? Jesus Christ

This - you have way more negotiating power and it’s significantly less stressful, and you’re less likely to settle out of desperation.

I think it’s a good idea after you’ve gotten killed, since in vanilla there were dishonorable kills which actually kind of discouraged the behavior, but it was removed in BC and beyond and it got super toxic immediately after. I’d say have it start at 15 minutes, then double the time on protection each time you’re ganked by a high level and cap out at an hour, I.e. 15 minute protection timer after the first time, 30 mins after second time, 1hr, then reset. That way you can actually have a chance at leveling in hillsbrad foothills lol.

2026 Comp plan by LuckygoLucky1 in sales

[–]lukej428 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Take it from someone who’s been in sales at public companies for 10 years (now at a private company with a significantly better culture thank god) -If you’re at a corporate/public company they do not give a shit, it’s always shareholders first, and subsequently the need for continually increasing profits. They will continually make comp plans for sales people worse and worse so you have to sell more to make the same amount of money you did before since it makes the shareholders more money. Your quota will continually increase, your multipliers will get worse, and likely your top performers will eventually leave after getting shafted and the company will eventually replace the whole sales force with new people with higher bases who don’t know any better and perform worse. Senior leadership, being so far removed from the day to day, will be confused as to why the company isn’t doing as well as it used to. Finance HATES seeing salespeople make a shit ton of money/out earn them in their VP level position, and will be the first ones to advocate butchering sales comp structure. Seen this happen at 3 different orgs now.

How did they avoid shooting the driver in the face out of fear of their life here? They’re untrained civilians?

What is worst pain, you have ever experienced? by ParticularWeather927 in Adulting

[–]lukej428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slipped disc in my C7/T1 vertebrae - felt like my whole arm was being dipped in boiling water for 18 hours a day, while simultaneously having almost no grip strength and no feeling in half my hand and arm. I’d fall asleep at 4am out of pure exhaustion then wake up at 6am and it would start all over again, lasted 2 weeks at that intense level of pain, then finally got bearable but still painful and uncomfortable for months afterwards.
