Some ppl have not liked me I'm quite sure, some have written to my bosses about how good I am at being on top of the game, but one person alone can't do everything or the company couldn't grow. The company grows and they can raise payouts. Plus these people also have families and a few hours of sleep a night they need, that is why they hire people to help. That is just my 2 cents. I can't even imagine at my old job, the owner handling all affiliates when they own 7 programs now, each with multiple sites, it just can't be done. That would be one owner handling about 10,000 affiliates. (When they need over 8 that are over loaded). This is not my current employer and it's something good to be said about my previous because they grew from nothing to huge and they did it working with ppl that worked hard for them. That is how these small programs grow, a bunch of quality people chipping in and working overtime and brainstorming, it's a unique dynamic.

I just think you are generalizing to much and basing all reps off of a few that just do their jobs badly.

Then to think that every affiliate can get to take up untold amounts of contact everyday from the owners of some multi million dollar a year companies are laughable.
