Materials
Immediately after the inspector, I rushed to the office, where my fate was decided – a second fate, if I will be remained free. But it seems that everything is in vain here.
I was just a basic sales manager. A few months ago, the company’s managers announced a competition for the position of the head of the sales department for the entire Central Chernozem region.
The competition will be fair: the head of department will be the one who will make the best sales in absolute terms.
I did the impossible! I found new customers, persuaded old ones to take more than what they usually ordered, charmed everyone, managed to make sales almost twice as much as my direct competitor. But…
I get the news that they want to put the guy who comes second.
I probably wouldn’t have taken this step normally, but when I realized that I was facing several years in prison, I didn’t really care.
I burst into the office where the branch Manager and interim sales Director were sitting, he was supposed to pick up a candidate and hand over the cases to him.
Hands on my hips, raising my bang, I said:
– I know that you want to put Konstantin in this position, not me, although you said that the competition will be fair and the best will win!
They looked at each other. And I realized that they didn’t consider me a candidate! And my sales indicators somehow caught them off guard.
Opened.
-Well, Yes, you sold more… – and raised their eyebrows in surprise.
I advance on them menacingly and say:
-You don’t want to put me in charge of sales just because I don’t have any balls!
They are bold and clever, wouldn’t have taken their seats otherwise, they look at me in shock and don’t understand. But I don’t care – they’ll put me in jail anyway… What should I do now? To cut a plain truth, without superfluous sentimentality.
And they, whether from this phrase, or from my mood, having caught that the person has nothing to lose and he is generally concerned about other things (they do not know what yet), they.. they were scared.
I didn’t ask, I didn’t demand. I indicated that it was. And don’t make up any nonsense.
They looked at each other, confused.
-But you have a little daughter, we thought…you’re not interested. It’s very difficult, you know…. Around the clock at work, throughout the Central black earth region. We need to open branches, take responsibility, and…
-My business is none of your business. I’ll deal with it. I want this position, I can do it. And I will do it better than anyone, you know that very well.
Turn around. Slam the door.
And left.
