Am I wrong for judging coworkers who look unkempt on Zoom? I notice a massive double standard with hybrid colleagues. When they're in the office, they look sharp and professional. On WFH days, they join video calls looking like they just rolled out of bed. If you wouldn't show up to the office ungroomed, why is it okay on camera? Where do you draw the line?

Do you think quota is ever set with the intent of making it hard to hit, and how would you even know if that was the case?

How much does the product you’re selling shape your identity as a rep, and does it ever make it harder to make a move?

How do you build a real relationship with a customer when your company is constantly pushing you to upsell them on something they don’t need yet?

After 20 years in sales, I've started a new job in a low-stress role. I should be relieved, but I also have serious personal stress that has triggered massive burnout. I’ve always been good at this, but right now I am mentally checked out. I don't want to lose this job, but I also don't feel like working anymore. If you were me, would you take a short sabbatical or try to find something outside of sales?
