Of course I can't get to sleep tonight, even with the PRN, so I came up with a game plan to avoid ruminating on the whole sad job affair.
I'm becoming VERY willing to just send everything as high up the chain (on my end) as possible. Again if they're willing to be childish and demeaning to get what they want, I can't correct it, but maybe someone with my main office can do some yelling and make it so. Also, if I can't do anything (and I mean ANYTHING) on my own initiative, beyond just sitting there, why the heck am I there? I'm not gonna make any real sales numbers if I can't get visibility. I know this company has some say in how their employees get treated. I just have to find the right person.
There's also the risk that I will demolish any tenuous professional relationship I have with that retail store real fast (and in multiple ways) if things don't go my way. Path of least resistance would have me look at another position in the company. I mean, I can sell phones easily. I spent nearly five years developing the skill set. I'd like to use it!
One route could come courtesy of the other rep (the one I misjudged). He's been trying to recruit me to his company for a couple of days now. I think I might take him up on it. Significantly less stress, more commission on more products, more pay. I can act somewhat independently in the store on my shift. And I don't have to fight anyone over a freaking cardboard display! Pieces of a cardboard display!
I'm extremely willing to be poached at this point!
Worst comes to worst, I'll talk with Voc Rehab again and restart the job search.
