I am sick and tired of some of the things that go on where i work.

I work on salary (the pay is not too bad). I started out as a tech, but got promoted 6 months after I was hired and moved in to the sales department.

There are 4 people in the sales department (myself included). I worked 1 hour longer than everyone in that department so i could get more money because my wife was pregnant at the time( this lasted about 5 months).

I stopped working the extra hour because it was burning me out and i went back to working the extra 30 minutes that i do not get paid for.

This month sales for the company have had a 20% decline. This includes inbound sales and online sales.

Everyone has started to work an extra 30 minutes a day (myself included). I HATE working overtime and not get paid, but with a crappy economy, i need to keep my job.

Working an extra 30 minutes a day puts me back on that extra hour bull crap. Thats fine i will do it.

BUT, two people i work with, who are not married and have NO life outside of where we work, decided to work almost 14 hous yesterday. When something like that happens, it makes ME look bad. I am sick and tired of this kind of ****!!

The sad part is this, in the department i work for three people have a 15%-39% decrease in sales. One only has a 3% decrease in sales. Thats for the month.

Now, take a guess who has the lowest decrease in sales? ME. When i went over to sales the previous persons BEST month was $30,000.00. My BEST month has been $50,000.00. My average for the past year has been $42,000.00 a month.

the two people that worked that long shift can npot stand me because my average NEVER changes and I do it in a NORMAL shift.

I am so sick and tired of working MY nose to the ground in a NORMAL and REASONABLE shift and watching other people have Crappy statistics, but get commended for working late.

What about me?

Why am I never thanked? Why am I getting the shaft here? I mean am i wrong to think that if I can maintain my average while THE ENTIRE COMPANY is 20% behind me, that they should be asking me how I DO IT?

Nope, i get told I AM NOT A TEAM PLAYER. I HAVE TO DEFEND MY ACTIONS.

If this crap continues, i am going to start dropping my resume's to companies that i know for a fact would pay me double and offer a better commision and bonus.

Sorry to vent.
