What suggestions do you have for management?

"Should have found a way to attract and retain the best. Turn over was in a class by itself abysmal. Obvious to me that retaining a few - like me - was in their best interest. Highest performers forced to starve for years. The 2 years I was there I grew as fast as anyone in the South East region. I still could not eat. Best sales people run higher expenses because of high activity - should have sat back and gotten a second job and grown slower. Do I sound bitter, LOL I am!"
