Am I Overreacting??
Fence Sales Rep - Am I Overreacting?
I am a sales rep at a branch of a large fence company. I have worked here for approximately a year.
In the last 6 months ownership changed from our franchise/branch and we got absorbed by the larger branch.
Things have been more and more miserable since but as of Monday I am really over it.
Us reps duties have essentially doubled since the merger - we used to just sell and submit clean paperwork. Now they have us fetching all permit paperwork, and other such busy work documents.
Now they want us to bring out laser levels and a tool to find the exact location of property pins. I’m not super opposed to this - it’s a million degrees out but whatever - the problem is that they want me to sign it out for full liability approx. $1300.
When I brought it up in our weekly 8am sales meeting I was told that it’s not an ask, it’s a requirement and I’ll be held liable for any costs that incurs the company.
It probably sounds like not much and it is most likely the culmination of 6 months of misery but I’m so over it at this point. It is way too much work to sell overpriced fence for 70-100k/yr. (If that)
Thank you for reading!
