Worked at a company where I built their entire Amazon sales channel. Literally brought in millions in revenue. Dealt with a lot of shit throughout, and didn't get paid nearly enough.

They had been dangling the promise of a bonus structure or commission in front of me for a year.

Boss flipped out over stupid shit regularly.

Throughout COVID, they expected us to be in office. This went as well as could be expected and the office became a huge transmission vector.

But what finally did it was being brought into the owner's office and getting told "We just bought this company. We need you to learn their 3PL system, learn their website backend, and manage their inventory levels. If this goes well, you might even get a raise in a few months."

I was gone within a month.

Worked for a company that had a bonus plan, we never hit it because sales sucked at their job and if they didn't sell no one got bonuses. One month we happened to be on track for once, since my department wasn't revenue generating all I could do to help was put off buying a few things until next month. We hit our numbers but never got any bonus. When I asked why I was told that adding the bonuses into the budget made us go over so we didn't qualify.

What part of bonus did they not get.
