For a company to admit that their retention level is so low during the first week of training is something to behold. The work itself could be best described as slave-like, monotonous,elementary, trivial, ridiculous and simply an uphill battle in which the top of the hill is unreachable. Although you do learn an incredible amount of valuable information in an extremely short amount of time, the question I raise is WHY? Why would somebody subject themselves to a high stress- low yeild environment when the ultimate payoff is a little more yeild coupled with alot more stress. When employees are grinded and grinded day in and day out in a ridiculous setting most of the pearls will eventually leave the oyster. TJW is a great guy with a great business sense yet when it comes down to the LITTLE THINGS that matter he reminds me of R2D2. Maybe if he actually realized that most people will not take pride in their work unless they are creating work that is rewarding. "Necessity never made a good bargain." Ben Franklin |
R2D2 is a perfect comparison because of his robotic ways. I am waiting for flashing lights to start beaming from his head. He definatley has no grasp on the little things that count the most. He will never be successful in the long run until he realizes these things. He also does not understand people or how to communicate with people in a natural way. Most of the accounts would say who's that guy. I would say oh that is Tom, our area manager (only for about about 4 years now).
Somebody told me that Tom took him for lunch on a sales call. As they were sitting waiting for their food, Tom asked the man "so what are your hobbies and interests". He almost fell on the floor.
