Quotas ruined a job I had once. I understand them, but character of a company is set by how a company manages and expects them. If their strict without reason, employees will hate you when you give no alternative if something fails or problems are arranged in a way that the quota doesn't address. I lost my job over a quota that failed to address 50%-75% of incoming donations turning into trash or other unsellables. The amount of time spent throwing into trash or unsell piles, wasting time. It made me automatically responsible, and my only option to keep my job would have been to lie and put up unsellables like my cowrokers. I couldn't do anything else about it. <br><br>I wish it was easier for consumers to punish companies for these problems, but they are quiet issues that cause issues for customers down the line.
