I don't have any particular knowledge of this company (although at a glance, I probably hate them?). But at a glance I think people don't have a good sense for sales. I've seen maybe a dozen small-mid size company sales operations. Many sales cultures are pretty insane. Many hires don't have much experience or just kind of end up in sales. Sales groups tend to be run extremely competitively against themselves, with high compensation that would likely surprise outsiders, especially for people with no paper credentials that say they're skilled. It's common to find yourself with a bunch of 20 year olds suddenly being told their gods gift and it's not really that surprising when they go cocky with their power, not unlike tech bros in similar situations.
edit: Just to be clear, that's not an excuse for any of the behaviors discussed
- faitswulff 6y agoI would ask "why are they surveilling their own employees? Why don't they have responsible, limited access to the technology?" but then I think if they had any issues with doing so they probably wouldn't be in the business in the first place.
- klmadfejno 6y agoI mean let's not make it more complex than it needs to be. It happened because they're assholes.
