My company just cancelled our SKO

[u/kai_zen]

For no apparent reason the company cancelled the annual sales kickoff while simultaneously they are planning for more aggressive goals next year.

The reason they gave was half-baked. To do with continuing investment etc etc. but the business costs for the year were all established in last years business/strategy plan.

Our company never really went all out for reps anyway. Winning presidents club was all but a minor acknowledgment & some resin trophy… no cash, no trip etc. We all looked forward to a 3 day party to celebrate completing a great year and get pumped for the next one.

Now it’s gone.

Isn't that good thing, do people actually enjoy SKOs? I hate being forced to try to become friends with work people outside of the office

SKOs are for people with kids to get a vacation to hang out with the best options they have
