me and one of the other account managers went to bat for the assistants to get more and management was essentially like it's idiot work that anyone can do.

they only see sales as the ones that make the company money. its really simplistic thinking. no respect or appreciation for the different mechanisms of the company behind the scenes that allow us to make more money.

and when you crow about the company hitting record numbers that needs to trickle down. its 1+1=2 to me. so i try to help where i can. break some money off for my assistant. setup office events. etc etc.
