It is unbelievable how heartless this company is! I was progressed from a CAP to a PIP for sales even though nobody cares about phones while everyone is trying to stay alive. But no, I didn’t sell enough phones so I am on a PIP and if I don’t make my number this month I am terminated.

Door to door salesman, promising the world to the c ustomer whilst lying through their teeth. Oh my, nobody warned you that this was a temp position? Did taking the company car home make you feel like you were somehow in a good position? Can't count the times I saw IHX dropping kids off to school in the company vehicle, parked with no cones, driving on the freeway with an iPad between their legs. LOL.
Wait, is IHX still expected to go to customers homes and sell??
Bye Felicia!
They told me I can do curbside dispatches and do the whole interaction outside but that makes it harder to sell. Do they lower the quota? No. And if I don’t make the number I am out of luck. It is totally unfair.
I called HR about the ride-alongs because it is too many people in the house and riding in the same car is not social distancing. They told me wear a mask and get back to work. Basically they said get lost. HR doesn’t care.
Lie, cheat and steal to hit your numbers. Find out what everyone else is doing and triple down on it.
It isn’t just the west it is the east too but here they do an obsessive amount of ridealongs. I’d rather they just leave me alone and hold me to the number like they do for you guys out west!
In IHX PIP is the last step before termination. At least for non bargained IHX. There is no written warning after it.
They are doing this everywhere. It is really bad in the west region. They go straight to CAP then PIP for not hitting your number and you get no training or coaching. HR just tells you that you are responsible for your own numbers and that whatever management does to help or train is doing you a favor not a requirement. It is so much BS.
You’re not falsely adding phones to enough accounts to bring your numbers up...
What are other team members doing to be able to meet their numbers?
Ok, they did this to me and my team 3 years ago we were extremely successful but me late 40s and around 50 with pensions. You need to use FMLA before they put you on pip! Me and another fought the good fight just couldn’t do it even though I was stressed beyond belief, I lost 35 pounds in 4 to 5 months but the 1 member used it and bought him 3 months and found another job and resigned when he came back. HR cares nothing about you so don’t waste your time!
@ato yea perpetuate the uselessness of the role.
You should go from a pip to a written then to a dml before termination. Screw them , Go on stress leave .
The threat of losing one's job is always frightening, but being separated from this disaster of an organization is not the end of the world. If it happens you will eventually find a better job with a better company and realize that it was a blessing.
If you are in IHX partner with your SLED/LED sellers! That is what the rest of IHX is doing to hit their numbers.....
SMH this is coaching your manager should have given you.
Same for me and I called HR and they said that I am required to meet my sales goals. No help from them.
