'This guy generates $1M+ in sales': High-performing salesman requests a replacement for a $15 computer part; boss refuses until it's ‘completely broken’, salesman retaliates by smashing his equipment

Top performing employees deserve top performing equipment. Any successful businessman knows that a company is only as strong as its heavy hitters, so why is it that micromanaging bosses are so obsessed with pinching pennies to save mere morsels on the sales floor when they could potentially be risking missions in losses? In this case, one salesman reached his limit with a cheap, micromanaging boss and asserted his clout over the company funds.

As the highest grossing salesman in the company, OP was generating millions in sales annually for the company, raking in tons of cash for the business. You'd think that this particular salesman's needs would be met to the fullest, but his manager had bottom-line expenses in mind. After requesting an equipment replacement for a faulty computer mouse, OP was flabbergasted when his manager deemed the mouse insufficiently broken to be replaced.

Scroll for the full story on how this salesman lost his cool when his manager refused to replace a $15 computer part until it was 'completely broken'.
