Dear Team Jedi Leadership
No longer drinking the Kool-Aid, not even a sip
Although my work was diligent
I received little compensation for my talent
Just an increasing bullwhip
If there’s truly an angel among us
She’d be S. Thomas
Such positivity and support
Even when she was in my cohort
Having her as my TL was definitely a plus
Yet TLs have limited power
Having very few options when the team starts to sour
To upper management (UM), they can suggest
Things that would incentivize their agents best
But UM reacts with such dour
Mass exodus of agents who felt daunted
Here are the incentives that we wanted:
More products, higher commissions, quarterly raises
NOT decelerators, punitive LBs and hipchat praises
Instead of feeling appreciated, we felt taunted
Even after going the extra mile
Earning a P&C license, ‘cause that’s my style
I was denied my dream
Of transferring to a more lucrative team
To languish in a situation I found vile
So I researched a new Plan B
Since a dead end is no place for me
I’m less productive when bored
A new opportunity I’ve scored
For success glass-ceiling free
Yes, the call has been answered! No one is in charge of your destiny but you/God. Find your happiness. And you did! Congratulations!!!!!
