There's a word for that.

It's called socialism.

One of the things when I came back into Snowflake, we pulled up T&E budgets and it was like, dude, you run North America.

You haven't been on a plane in five weeks.

It's a problem.

Guys, what do I do?

I mean, I live this conversation I'm having quite literally every day because Anthropic in particular is offering sums of money the likes of which we've never seen.

And I can't say it's wrong.

They have endless amounts of money and they just care about speed.

And if I was in that situation, I would probably do the same thing.

So how do I compete against Anthropic?

If I have a rep and I'm gonna offer that rep $600,000 in stock and they're gonna offer 1.2.

We're gonna offer the same cash OTE, call it 400, they're gonna offer 400.

how do i compete against that number one don't you want to go to a place that actually cares about performance that actually cares about having a quality sales organization does that not matter to you you can say that's anthropic i could say no it's not they have a group quota okay so you can be the best guy in the world of doing what you do and you're going to get paid as the shittiest guy what does that actually tell you what it should tell you is they don't actually value having quality sales people they just actually value having a lot of sales people is that an environment that you want to go work in there is some like

Politics aside, salespeople are capitalists.

They believe in meritocracy.

They want to be rewarded for their performance and their hard work.

If you go to Anthropic, that's gone.

If that doesn't matter to you, then go to Anthropic.

I'm not quite certain then that I want you in my sales organization anyway.
