Quitting a job?

Question

So for the past 7 months i've been working for Aflac on 100% commission, I love some aspects of the job and others I cant stand. Of course the 100% sucks at times, my trainer has so many personal problems that affect the training, the people really care about themselves and not the company, the market isso saturated. So I got a couple groups one of which a pretty giid size and got me a lot of money. I serviced the account and resolved several issues that my boss got me into. After doing so well with this account they offered me a job. It consists of base salary, plus commission, full benefits, basically everything someone my age (24) can ask for. My problem is that I hate quitting jobs. I feel terrible doing it. I am wondering what advice someone can give me about doing it. Also account I opened, i'm wondering if anyone who worked ith aflac can tell em what to do about it. The account will get a lot of more premium written it every month. Im wondering if I still get a cut of that. Thnx

Answer 1

Your so young, you can do what you want. A decent boss should understand wanting to move up in the world. If you don't tell them where you're going, it would be a violation of office ethics. Although, we all hate confrontation at times. You should make sure you don't just get up and leave. Give the right amount of notice and they should be happy that you thought of their needs too. Also, you could put the word out for someone you know or find someone to replace you. They love that too.

Answer 2

Will you get a cut of renewals and increases? I don't know, it depends on what your contract says. I can assure you that's in there.

On quitting...

This is gonna sound drastic, but you have to do something similar someday if you're ever going to get anywhere. Stand naked in front of a full length mirror, and say "I own this body, no one else does. It's my one asset, mine to do with as I choose, and I take full responsibility for what it does and what happens to it. No one else gives a damn about it like I do, and I'm going to take good care of it."

Quitting will be a breeze when the time is right to move to a better opportunity.
