A day without getting an angry call from a customer because of something my manager said to them.
The interviewer's expectations were completely different from the job requirements. The interviewer knew nothing about the actual role or the skillset required.
Treat employees like human beings, stop taking credit for others' successes and blaming your failures on others. Give employees usable tools -- the infrastructure is ancient. Stop changing pay plans to steal your employees' commissions. Figure out how to allow people to work together!
Management always manipulates employees into doing work they won't be compensated for. They talk teamwork but don't allow it because of the compensation structure. They report false sales numbers at team meetings. They change the comp plans mid-year. Get rid of half the middle managers and be honest
Management would either reclassify my sales or change my pay plan partway through the year to steal my commission. I won several awards but wasn't invited to the awards ceremonies. The awards I did get were sent by email as PDFs, and my managers didn't even know I got them.
