The last thing that had me hanging on to the possibility of staying past the very near future at my job was the chance that I'd be named to Club this year. ("Club", as I've described before, is short for President's Club and is an incentive travel reward for top performers offered by many sales organizations.) If I made Club, I agreed with my spouse, I'd consider whether to stick around another several months depending on where Club is. Well, two strikes against that happened this evening.
First, they announced Club would be in Los Cabos (again). Los Cabos was literally the one place we agreed was probably not worth us going to. Like, we would seriously consider turning down a free 3-night trip there if one was offered. The other strike against it, the main strike, was that it wasn't even offered. 😓
There is now almost zero chance I will remain employed at this company a few weeks from now.
BTW, why am I so negative about not going to Club?
It's because this year I supported 4 sales reps. Those sales reps all finished far, far above their quotas:
A job is an economic arrangement. The company pays me for the value of the work I do for them. They don't want to compensate me appropriately for the outsized success I've delivered? Fuck them.
