Nah, I already know the answer. They need sales to be up and overhead down before considering raises.

i c. you did fine, ms. pint.

next time you have courage to ask again, ask exact figures you need to hit in sales in order for them to consider a raise and get it in writing for yourself and the team.

after some calculation they should be able to get you a realistic target.
and if they can't give u a number, or keep coming back with a floating number, then they dont know what they're doing as far as business goes.

they might say it's complicated, but in reality, the big picture is quite simple.

Problem with working in a small company is that this information is always either a.) not available or b.) unrealistic. There are only 4 of us with GT Sound and 8 with the other company.

yah, that should not be the case even for a small company. the basic principles are the same.
there should be a goal and vision. without that, just treading water not going anywhere.
