Throw me a bone here...

Friday, the second to last day of the quarter, we finally got our budgets. I will update more tomorrow when i try to do some negotiations begin...but here are a few nice littles talking points.

Chaz waited to the last fricken second to give us our Budgets. Runner went in first, it was quick, and from what he tells me his are ridiculous and he did not sign them, and will also be negotiating tomorrow.

Jameson went next. His was not short, and he fought a little with Chaz form what I hear, and that situation will come to a head I am sure.

Somehow Frat and the other lady still have their jobs. I am seriously astounded and also a little irked. I know the lady makes more money than me, and she does NOTHING. She literally is "prospecting in Metropolis" when everyone knows there is no money there, and she happens to live there.

I was the last one in there. Why? I dont know. It was stressful, though. I mean, i have been applying elsewhere, and i have not lifted a finger at work really so...it wasnt a total stretch they could have fired my ass.

So, at 5:25PM on a Friday, i was called in, and handed my budgets. The excel spread sheet was so all over the place, and so hard to read. I sat and looked at it while chaz talked. and talked. and talked. and talk. but said nothing. His rather obvious, and not well hidden tactic in every sales pitch, meeting, and budget dishing out, is to just fucking talk. talk so much, no one else can get their 2 cents in...and then when he stops, you just want to say, fuggit, and agree to him just to shut him th efuck up.

i looked it over, it was high...but he was harping on the bone he threw us. Any new business we get on the air we get a straight 10% commission on it, regardless of the budget goal.

I will, in no way, make my goal this quarter. I can say that, knowing even if i worked 80 hour weeks, and hammered out 100 calls a week, i wouldnt.

So, next steps: still fight for a higher base. I had my first commission check this past month, and the extra 500 bucks i got (after billing 45,000 mind you), was a life saver. Too bad i can spend tht money on something awesome like a well deserved/much needed new surf board.

more to follow tomorrow. wish me luck with my job search.
