I was hired as a regional sales manager at a company in September. $95k base + 6% commission on all sales. My team's quota for the year is $2.1 million. So that's another $126k, making the total OTE about $221k.

Anyway, after about 3 months, the company was sold to new owners, and the new owners decided that my salary would now be $65k with 0.75% commission. Same quota, of course. So my OTE dropped from around $221k to about $81k. They added a few small bonus targets that, if everything worked out perfectly, would add another $12k. So the best-case scenario would be a total of about $93k.

When I told them I was extremely upset and that I never would have accepted this job with that comp plan, the VP said I was making a big deal out of it. It's obvious they did the same thing to every sales manager. And before anyone says, "Sounds like they're trying to make people leave," 3 managers already quit and the company basically panicked and threw a lot of money at them to stay. Fortunately, all three left anyway.

I saw this post talking about something called cold emailing, and I applied it. Thankfully, I was able to find another job quickly that pays a lot more, and doesn't have this nonsense.

So my question is: do I give these assholes the courtesy of a 10-day notice, or do I tell them to go screw themselves?

Honestly, I'm in a bit of a predicament and I really need an outside opinion on this. I'm currently working at a mid-sized investment firm, but I'll be leaving this job in a few weeks.
Just a few weeks before I leave, an unexpected opportunity came up for an amazing tropical trip. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime chance, but I don't have any regular vacation days I can use.

However, I do have a few unused sick days. I thought about calling in sick for a few consecutive days to go on this trip. I know I'll come back a bit tanned from the sun, which might give me away, but this is such a great opportunity.

What's bothering me or making me anxious is that this will definitely disrupt my team a bit and might add a lot of extra work for them. I'll try my best to finish most of my work the week before I leave, but some things can't be prepared in advance.

I'm also almost certain that I won't get a good recommendation from here, which bothers me a bit. But honestly, is there any other way I can take this trip without leaving my job early altogether or missing this opportunity completely?

I'm in IT support on the phone. My job search is now a full-on sprint. I don't understand it at all. Our team's productivity has been fantastic. Customer satisfaction metrics are at an all-time high, and we're meeting all our service level agreements with ease. Yet, somehow, the quiet place where I can focus and get my work done has suddenly become the main obstacle we need to fix.
They're not even considering cubicle walls. No, it's going to be one huge room, filled with every tech support person answering calls simultaneously. Imagine the amount of background noise.
This whole mess is supposed to start in about three weeks, so I'm desperately hoping to find something new and escape before it begins. My goal is a fully remote job with a company that truly values its employees' autonomy.
