greed by owners/management always kills sales careers in my experience. When I worked at the car dealerships, a guy could sell 100 cars in a month, which was unheard of and there would be money raining down, and fanfare and joy abound. Then the next month, the guy might sell 99 cars which is still beyond anything anyone ever accomplished, and management would call him in and grill him about why he didn't sell 101 cars, or more likely, why he didn't sell 110 cars.

Whatever is done, it never seems to be good enough in sales, it just becomes the "norm" and you're expected to always do better.
