It just dawned on me that I experienced Obama’s spread the wealth plan.
I worked for a very small company, two partners and I was their first hire. It was a job selling advertising, I had never done it before but it ended up that I was good at it. When I started we were selling ads in one state and they had managed to sell 232, I opened up 13 other states and had sold over 4,000 ads myself.
Because of the increase in ads, new people were hired, in fact they hired many new people,way more than needed. Even with all of the new hires, I was still the ONLY person doing sales, in order to keep everyone busy, I had to continually crank up those sales. With the revenue coming in a lot was going out as well, expensive weekly lunches, blackberries for everyone, etc.
It then came time to tighten the belt some, so what did my liberal bosses propose? Cut my hours and forgo my commissions to HELP the company. I was the only one generating income for the company and in order to pay the support staff, who btw, spent most of their day on Perez Hilton, MySpace and CNN.com, I had to put my commission money back into the pot to pay them.
They were ALL Obamabots and it was infuriating enough working with them, but once they told me I would have to take a pay cut, that was the final straw, I quit.
One other thing, you should of seen the faces of my ultra lib coworkers when I went to say goodbye. While the bosses were not in the room, they had that deer in the headlights look and wondered what was going to happen to the company now that I was leaving and I was the only person who generated revenue?
I told them, “I guess ya’ll will figure it out.” and left. I check the website regularly and they have not made a sale since I left in Aug.
