  1. SLED business tends to peak in June so I doubt they are cutting back
  2. yeah, we already did the reverse in that my original employer in this space merged into the French outfit and our CEO took the reigns and our culture took over. All boats rose on that tide. Now it's the other way around and it's awful. I'm sticking around to close a couple large opps however I'm already looking.
  3. So this is a fun week. Last year we acquired a larger entity than us and our business unit was also rolled up into (really just deeper integration) another BU. The company we acquired was larger, had more bodies and more process (bureaucracy) and the home boys in France think this was/is a good thing so, acquired management team are running the show, and running it poorly. The guy at the helm (a french turd) brought in a Danish turd to be the Global SVP Sales. French turd has been here a year, Danish turd three months. the turds decided on Monday to fire the Americas VP of Sales because we had a bad Q1 and are forecasting a bad Q2. Q1 was due to things like SFDC being offline for us for 7 wks, new products w/out training, new and not fully defined accounts lists, a Q4-19 being huge. Q2 is going to off b/c Covid-19. the Americas VP has been here six years and under his leadership we always beat our #'s. this is politics so they can have their own dog on a leash. it's dumb, these guys are idiots. Did I mention its APRIL 22 and we still don't have comp plans? one of my old Managers is the CRO at an interesting infra play, I think We will get the bank back together in Q3
  4. the spice must flow
  5. no but they are assholes
  6. If you work for a French company with a name that is always mispronounced, then probably yes
  7. They are breaking us up into two groups, A and B, each gets three weeks of furlough, so it's every other week. It's complete bullshit. Our business is not down due to C-19, in fact it's all our own doing and and it would not warrant this action, this is just convenient cover. the other BU's might need to take this action, but not the Info-sec group I am in. lots of issue sto unpack. If we were a stand alone unit as we were last year, this would not be happening. The argument of "we are always working even when on PTO" is crap, when I'm working on a deal sitting in the beach in Aruba its by choice and to get a deal done. its my time and my dime. This is "keep working and use your earned vacation money to get paid or don't get paid" expecting me to work and progress my business and use my PTO to fund my base pay is shitty. If I take the time off and don't work, I negatively impact my earning potential. it's a lose lose as I won't have that much more earned paid time off. what if the mothership or my BU decides to do layoffs? then I have used up some of the vacation pay that I had in the bank and won't receive it as "walking money". bear: leadership? leadership? what's that. when we acquired this competitor they put their guy in the drivers seat. he was getting beat, he got acquired and he somehow won out. He's a french tool. he has dreams of all this being "self service" and thinks you scale by hiring more people. Both companies did about the same revenue and we did it with a fifth of the Sales force. their a bunch of stooges. I'm hear to close two more large deals, then I'll be six years in and ready for a new thing.
  8. more fun... I finally know my quota but still don't have the final Comp Plan and Sched A. So I don't know the actual Q by Q quota. it's fucking April? My quarter and many other Reps have had a shit Q1 largely due to the companies own making. Systems that don't integrate, unneeded new systems and processes, name changes, etc. it's been a fucking mess. pair this up w/ the Pandemic and wait for it.......furloughs. Spun as a way to stave off layoffs. We ar enow part of a larger BU and this is their doing, I suspect if we were still a stand alone, this would not be happening. over a six week period, they want us to work 3 weeks on, three weeks off, so on/off every other week. Umm...I'm in Sales, how the fuck does that work? if I want full base salary I need to burn 120 Hours of PTO. what a fucking joke.
  9. ok, just seems like its a nominal spend for a large bit of convenience.
  10. these are big packages of yeast. good find
  11. Stop being a cheapskate. get the nice dish, it will last and the monies you are not spending on dining out will offset the purchase price.
  12. meh, we have had that shit on door knobs for a long time now.
  13. I have managed to shrink mine, used to have two boxes.
  14. I have that box.
  15. that guy made some killer food, such a drag
  16. that site is amazing, good find
  17. "Working on a multimillion dollar order or june that will a needle mover so I'm not freaked out yet." and I've just been informed that I will get fucked on this. this deal will be added to my overall Quota. So I will make some nice accelerator $ for the Quarter, it won;t retire a big chunk of my annual number. the Europeans who run my business are socialist fucks.
  18. I work for a large Security company and a portion of our business is Secure Remote Access and IAM. Apparently that business is booming, we wisely prioritized their orders over the Crypto business I'm in. it's the right thing to do. After coming in at damn near 300% of my number last CY/FY I'm gonna post less than a $100k in business this Q. it's not that I'm lazy/bad or the business is off. We changed our SFDC instance, quoting, finance systems, everything as we merged two companies together and integrated into a larger BU in the greater empire we live it. what a fucking mess. I have $ in the bank and as I don't have my comp plan or quota yet...who cares. Getting paid 70% OTE on draw as well. Working on a multimillion dollar order or june that will a needle mover so I'm not freaked out yet.
  19. get a script for whatever "buterol" your doc recommends and buy a Nebulizer, they cost $50
  20. that looks fun except I'd have to listen to your drunk ramblings about the Cowboys being a good football team
  21. You can put off elective procedures anywhere, the staffing issues that rural towns face are the same pandemic or not. thats the risk of living in rural/remote places.
  22. yes and no. In NYC they are asked Hospitals and Patients to defer all elective procedures to free up resources. Elevating some medical students (MD's and RN) to active status along with those who has exited the workforce to take up the sack on some duties (once a Phlebotomist always a Phlebotomist ). It's not impossible or black and white. lots of ins, lot of outs, lots or what have you's.
  23. added some Buckshot and Slugs to the shelf yesterday. I'm well armed but I might add another long Arm for the wife. (pun) I needed to stop by the grocery store and everything there was fine. Sort of same situation it's been for a couple weeks. lack of Paper Towel, shit-tickets, any sort of antibacterial wipes, etc. Overnight there has been a run on groceries on Long Island, I tend to shop on Friday AM and it's great because no one is there. this AM the store was out of all Chicken, Turkey, Beef, Pork short of some rando cuts and sausages. The checkout line was about an hour. Fortunately they started to restock the meats as I was in line so I could run down the isale and grab some items. All stuff I'd normally shop for. Local Schools are are closed, some just to be deep cleaned and some for the next two to three weeks.
  24. we just did that, before this C-19 issue. I feel like I crap with impunity now.
