Hello all.

I'm in sales with quarterly quotas. Due to Covid-19, social distancing, etc., many companies are struggling to stay profitable. Our company was hit hard with 30% of our sales force not meeting their quarterly goals.

My supervisor emails me and calls me to deliver this message and he puts it this way, which later I thought was unprofessional, almost spiteful.

"70% our our sales agents made their quarterly goal. YOU were not one of them!"

What is your thought to the way that was handled? What is your perception of such a manager? How should such a message have been delivered?

Thanks.
