- Relentless toxic positivity from manager level and higher - sales pros must pretend to be happy and pretend everything is amazing, or they will be targeted and forced out
- Sales goals are high and often unsustainable - if sales pros miss goal 2 times in a row, they will be fired
- Leadership pushes sales pros to take time off to meet their "work-life balance" goals, then sales pros struggle to hit goals and have to stress about getting fired
- The cycle continues - sales pros are all miserable but stuck behind a facade of happiness and fun (see note on toxic positivity)
