Bonuses? I got your Bonus right here!


So why is it that only salesmen get bonuses, while the people who do the actual work get jack? Any idiot with nice boobs and nice hair can sell a product, but it's usually down to the worker bees to pull it off, so they should be the ones to get a bonus. In fact, this is probably normal work procedure.

Customer: I want X and Y, within 6 weeks
Sales girl: You got it! In fact we'll Package in Q with X and Y and we'll do it with in half the time!
Customer: woo hoo!
Sales girl to manager: We got an order!
Manager: great job, I'll get this down to the peons chained to the desks
Manager to workerbee: Here we got a new order
workerbee: When do they need it by?
Manager: 3 weeks
workerbee: shoot me now
