So, I quit. I had a job, a job that told me I could make a lot of money with it, and yet I quit. Let's just say that the guy that told me that was a salesman paid to sell jobs just as he sold knives before. He used the exact same tactics as he told us to use when selling the knives... it really should have been obvious. But, he did believe in the ( Read more... )

You're a good man, and I mean that. Sarah is very lucky.

I'm not sure I'll have reasons this good to quit a job ever again. If nothing works out soon, it looks like I'll do some charity or something. I can't sit on my butt all summer.

It's interesting, though- when my friend was a Cutco salesman last summer, she presented to us, but she made it very clear that she would get paid whether or not we bought something, so we shouldn't feel obligated. The part that made us uncomfortable was when she wanted us to recommend her to our friends as future customers. Anyway, I agree, it can be awkward at best to use friends as customers, and if you think you might damage your relationship with them, you're probably better off without it.

It was the same way for me, 12.25 for just showing up to present... I mean, uh, practice. There still is some obligation there, even if you ask it to go away. That customer thing, I didn't learn that. They were going to teach that on the last day of training, after I quit. There was a didctated form to it, but that was another part of the routine that was a little sketchy.
