The deal is the managers and suits are frickin coward fricks who cannot provide specifics and send out their drones to fire people.

I work in this space. The shitty reality is it's purely decided by being on a list of people under X% of quota attainment. It's not usual for salespeople to get let go in this manner, but this org specifically was constructed terribly and they needed to cut a lot of people to structure it properly.

At any rate, we get paid well and lead a relatively cushy remote life but the tradeoff is we always know this is a distinct possibility. It's supposed to be a lot less likely in sales, but the reality is you're never more than six months from getting fired in a sales job.
