Ok, I’ll rephrase this a bit. Im not sure where your animus lies, this person is not a illegal or welfare parasite, he’s one of millions our govt depends on are you upset he is proud and probably in the 1%? That’s how sales guys are! his Depending on the company or the exact job terms of the role,
a senior sales person is not only worth his weight in gold to his company and its clients not just in unquantifiable goodwill but in measurable results for the employer(revenues) and client (cost savings, throughput. Such a person can draw salary and commission and bonus and stock options >= the level a dr or lawyer can without having the responsibilities or demands of those jobs. And they like I can feel good we’re not living off of the taxpayers dime and be unaccountable job wise although it’s absolutely no shame to be fortunate enough to be working even in an overcompensated union position with non-merit based pay and benefits that have been collectively bargained.
In fact, you personally were #1 in the whole nation (not just in your company, mind you, but rather in the whole United States) for nine of the last ten quarters - though only in your specific field, I expect (used car sales? Fuller brushes? Of course, you needn't answer if you find it embarassing.)
It's only 8:45 p.m. here in Germany, so I still have three and a quarter hours before my New Year's resolution "kicks in" (it's to "eat fewer pistachios," by the way).
I don't mind your calling me an "annoyingly combative cretin" - people unaccustomed to formulating their thoughts in written form often get annoyed when asked to explain what they really meant, and frequently then resort to invective - in spite of the fact that I at no time was impolite to them.

That's a mouthful, Phil DiBasquette! But you are imputing to me motives and emotions which are entirely foreign to me. There is absolutely no animus on my side towards Mr. Fields (despite his resorting to insults.) I merely asked Mr. Fields to express himself more clearly.
