[Closed] Moan or be grateful?

Kryton57 · 2023-02-13T07:53:21Z

I’ve been given a sales target which is ludicrously unachievable following a round of redundancies of which I’ve survived. Given my experience in the sector vs my employers I am in a position to calmly and factually demonstrate why its ludicrous, and how - without a massive stroke of luck - this impacts my ability to achieve it and the impact upon my pay which would to reduce it to about 70% of my earnings at best. In doing so I feel a strong move is to ask the company to show me how it’s been calculated, so that “…I can share an understanding of how it’s expected to be achieved”. I’d do this becuase is suspect there is no strategy, it’s been thrown at me randomly. To defend myself from “underperformance” based on those numbers and being fired at the end of the year I feel it’s my duty to point this out to my manager even if nothing is done about it, so I’m in a position of “well I did warn you”. As long as I do this calmly, is this appropriate? Or should I just shut up and get on with it being grateful to have a job essentially accepting the difficult position I’ll likely end the year in?

Private Equity acquisitions only go two ways:

1 - asset strip and divest/sell off in chunks

2 - they invest to sell again in 3-5yrs time but they want rapid growth as they need to increase the investment by 2-3 times original price.
