When U work for someone else and they tell U to pick up the stick. U pick it up, or move on.

If the losses are negible then there isn't much to say. If they cut into your BONUS...then you have a real gripe...If you want to approach your boss with this that is the ground on which to stand. Let them give the farm away so long as your performance numbers don't suffer and it doesn't effect your income in a serious way.

The Performance numbers and resulting Bonus are what matters. The rest is just corporate BS. If the company arbitrarily gives away the farm and its your income they are hurting then they are in breech of your employment contract. Your not working for free for them are you. Will your bills go away every month.

If U move to the SW with them that is clearly something that will have to be discussed. Your performance numbers shouldn't be effected because of company largess. How is the co going to compensate you for those lost numbers that you would have gotten if they didn't give them away.

Mother always told me if you have a coupla hundred K in the bank it makes picking up the stick so much easier. Cause you can tell em to shove it anytime ya like.

Friend of mine was an S5 saleman with 3M. spent 30 years with them. He was always hustling side business where the company wouldn't service or supply the customer. For instance 3m would only sell bags of 1000 cable ties, but clients would only need 300 at a time so for years he sent them to Electrical Distributers as a service to them. One day he woke up and thought why don't I sell them those ties. So he started his own biz. After 3 or 4 years 3M got wind of it and made him stop, he kept on doing his job just like before and actually 3M liked him more.
