Freewrite Day 559 Quota

I’m not too much in favor of quotas. They make people desperate and willing to do anything to make their numbers. When I searched the term on Canva, it came up with a few photos of police writing tickets. This idea did not come to me when seeing the prompt, but I guess many do think of it that way. Presumably, police have quotas of how many tickets they need to write, and it they are behind, watch out!

I saw this in a car dealership I worked for. I was the service department cashier, so thank God this did not apply to me. But the sales people had quotas of how many cars they had to sell each month and they did a lot of bad actions in order to get them. Some customers got taken for a ride if they walked in at the end of the month. Others knew the game and would be ready to buy on the 31st and expecting a huge discount.

On the first couple days of the month, the sales people would not even come in to work since the stress was so bad in the prior days. And then often someone was fired for not making their quota – always the nicest person there.

One other place I worked that has quotas was in a hotel. The housekeeping supervisors were expected to find so many “errors” made by the staff. For example, not dusting shelves in a room, or having the right toiletries in there.

This was one of the most horrible quotas I can think of. You need to find fault to be doing your job. Sometimes the mangers would intentionally ruin things when nothing was wrong. They had to make their quota. If some poor maid had to be written up for something she did not do, so be it.

My post is for the #freewrite daily challenge by @mariannewest. Freewrite is a great way to post on steemit when you do not think you have the time, or talent, or anything to say. It’s a great way to start regular posting on steemit. I know you can do this too! Here is Marianne’s freewrite prompt post for today. Give it a try and surprise yourself.
