Sales Rep Reprimanded and Told Not to Worry About Small Contracts, Decision Costs the Company $8 Million
This is one of those "be careful what you wish for" moments that show how important it is to listen to the people under you. Especially when those people are responsible for safeguarding your company's commitments to clients. Yet, whenever there is restructuring and layoffs, teams like this find themselves with less manpower and an ever-increasing workload.
When Reddit user u/infinitiumvortex found themselves in this situation, they were reprimanded for how fastidious they were in their work and told they needed to ignore their smaller contracts and deal with them as swiftly as possible to ensure greater efficiency. But, as often is the case, the shortsighted management team didn't look at how quickly a small contract could cost them. The manager blindly expanding an existing small contract on a handshake deal would land the company in some seriously hot water.
This story was posted on Reddit's r/ProRevenge subreddit by u/infinitiumvortex who tells the story of how their "malicious compliance" caused this revenge to come to be.
