If you enjoy not thinking about why you’re doing something, putting an effort in only to be told you’re effort is worthless than this if the place to be.
“Management” is better in current White House administration than at Indeed. People will only have your back if you came up with them in the ranks and even in the end I’ve seen a lot of underhanded moves just so someone could get a new title/a few reports under their belt.
To think I actually was excited the day I started as if I was joining something I could get behind/believe in/make a difference at. It was at my first/last volunteering event that my eyes were wide open. Indeed lures people I’m with their culture and their mission “to help people get jobs” yet at the end of the day that veil is very thin - you’re selling ad space.
Back when I joined management actually tried to teach the art of selling. Then they slowly converted all of the account managers into the beast they made us loathe - inside sales. A year later we were all screwed - call center USA.
Sales is an art and artist can’t be manufactured. Consultative sales is born from relationship building. You can’t build a relationship from logging minutes/dials and tracking busywork for the sake of tracking busywork. What comes from that is false reality. Your reps aren’t hitting quotas because they can’t hit something that’s arbitrary. Your reps that are hitting are the few your managers want to keep around because they like them. They’re their yes men/women - they’re not necessarily good sales reps. You just need a few examples to say “see so&do did it, now why can’t all 200 of you?”
You had a model that worked graduating accounts that had matured in spend and size to account managers, then you went and put greed before everything else. Now you’re reaping what you sowed.
Maybe your banking that the younger the hire is the less questions they’ll ask.
Either way you allowed a few rotten eggs to soil the whole bunch.
Perhaps when a rep says I’ve mastered my time in sales (aka I can see the forest for the trees) and I can better serve Indeed in a different capacity you actually give them a fair/equitable chance to apply within and change roles/departments? You’ve already invested in them as an employee, oh wait! thats right because it’s still a popularity contest not a job application.
