Engaging in sales within the Platinum/Global/Public Sector is not regarded as a Conflict of Business Conduct (COBC). In fact, it is being blatantly disregarded nationwide. Despite the clearly defined segmentations outlined in the rules of engagement, there are absolutely no consequences for violations. Leadership professes a desire for new business, yet they permit this absurdity to continue unchecked.
Therefore, your choices are as follows:
- Engage in sales within other segments, endure partial deductions in compensation, but avoid falling into the bottom quartile, thus maintaining your employment status.
- Adhere to the rules of engagement, pursue new business opportunities, and refrain from selling into other segments. However, be prepared this option has you competing against cheating adversaries like Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa in a home run derby for your job.
Doing the right thing doesn't pay at T.
