Laid off a year ago after being there 15 years (EMC brought into Dell). I had a larger quota (20-30 million a half but I will admit I was semi over paid compared to market averages)...but I was lucky and was immediately employed by a competitor a week after posting up my looking for work banner on LinkedIN.
I wasn't replaced by Dell for a while and they finally got headcount or whatever to replace me and they did it with a guy fresh out of college. Turns out they couldn't get meetings or sell anything.
Now here is where it gets funny. Encouraged by his lesdership, the new kid has the nerve to reach out to me and ask me if I can introduce him to my old customers (bear in mind i'm his direct competitor now and he knows this). Absolutely laughable.
That is how they are running things now, I suppose.
