As a 40 plus year commission sales guy, I couldn't agree with you more.
I loved sales because the ruler was clear, and you were judged on performance, % of quota.
Less than 100%, you were in trouble, over 100% you were in bonus and hours didn't count.
We knew the rules, and the people that exceeded, were heroes and the one that didn't, got fired.
OK with me, but this guy was a schlep, watching routine legal actions, that were so routine and mundane, that this simpleton wrote a script {and then bragged about it} that could replace his income stream.
How damn dumb do you have to be to publicly announce that your yob is superfluous.
In same position as you and do agree that he was stupid to let this out.
