Title: Coronavirus - Lost my sales job
Post by: Guillotines on March 18, 2020, 07:25:24 AM
Just started as a senior account exec for a new company a couple weeks ago. Over the last three days all their sales for the next three months have been cancelled. As a result I was let go along with 4-5 other people. I thought this virus stuff was a joke but I actually lost my damn job.

Hopefully I’ll go back in 2-3 months but who knows.

Good. Now go look for a job that doesn't require you to have a similar skill set as a sex worker.

Being a senior account exec, I'm confident you've heard the rule, "keep 6 months savings at all time".  With your minimum 6 months savings, you'll be fine.  Just ride this virus out.

You were let go this quick?

ALL of the company's sales were canceled for the next three months? What do they sell?  Do you only have one primary client?

They didnt even try to hold out for two weeks just an immediate dismissal?

Sorry to hear this, hopefully when things start getting better you are in prime position to pick up where you left off. That's if you still want to work for this particular company after this debacle.

I also work in sales and we are doing all we can to get through it. Obviously leads have plummeted but still a lot of people not acting hysterical or irrational and will do business with a professional firm that handles the circumstances well.

Losing a sales job isn't possible. The art of selling simply means you convince someone to buy something. So just insert a new product or service in place of the one you last sold. Voila- new job. In fact you aren't a salesperson worth a shit if you need someone to employ you at it.

My first "sales" job was after I bought a tractor trailer load of high tech but obsolete tech gear from a factory that closed down- all for the princely sum of $600 since it was being scrapped. About $20K later I realized I was now a salesman, haha.

Yes I have savings put away. No I do not want to start my own business…ever.

No I don't want to work for a supp brand lol…I just spent 5 years as an RSM for GAT Sport. Stayed about two years too long. I broker for a DMAA, Sarm, and Pro brand now. Great side hustle but thats all it is. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I had a ton of offers roll in before accepting this last position. I just reached back out… No one is actively hiring for the time being. I think everyone is in a rough spot. My friend runs a hotel and just laid off practically everyone. Anyone that was kept had hours cut to 16 a week.

And so...the bolded part of your first sentence explains the problems in the rest of your post. For at least the rest of the year trying to rely on somebody else to take risk so you can do what you've always done is out the window.

Maybe your state has 'Work Share'. Work Share provides an alternative for employers and workers who may be facing the prospect of a lay off situation. With Work Share, instead of reducing staff, an employer reduces the hours of work for a group of workers. Partial Unemployment Insurance benefits are then paid to supplement workers' reduced wages.

I hear what you're saying but it could be a lot worse. At worse case they have estimated it could kill a few million in the USA if allowed to spread unchecked.

It sucks no doubt! The economy is going to suffer big time from this!

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/worst-case-estimates-for-us-coronavirus-deaths/ar-BB118txk

The C.D.C.’s scenarios were depicted in terms of percentages of the population. Translated into absolute numbers by independent experts using simple models of how viruses spread, the worst-case figures would be staggering if no actions were taken to slow transmission.

Between 160 million and 214 million people in the United States could be infected over the course of the epidemic, according to one projection. That could last months or even over a year, with infections concentrated in shorter periods, staggered across time in different communities, experts said. As many as 200,000 to 1.7 million people could die.

And, the calculations based on the C.D.C.’s scenarios suggested, 2.4 million to 21 million people in the United States could require hospitalization, potentially crushing the nation’s medical system, which has only about 925,000 staffed hospital beds. Fewer than a tenth of those are for people who are critically ill.
