‘[That was] money I needed’: Top saleswoman refuses to accept her manager's empty promises after they cut everyone's hours in half, quitting for a better-paying job that values their employees

Empty promises from management can lead to an empty sales floor if you push your employees for too long. Oftentimes, employees will just roll over and accept managerial decisions that directly affect their income, but this top saleswoman refused to sit idly by while her managers cut everyone's hours in half. Going from a full-time work week to a 15-hour-per-week part-time schedule was enough to directly affect the commission coming in at the end of the month, so this working woman did what any motivated employee would. 

She used those remaining 15-20 hours every week to start a deep-diving job search that would ultimately lead her to a better-paying job, a more responsive managerial team, and a workplace that wasn't so darn toxic.
