    Hes never done it before.

    Just to let you know, he got sacked. We now cant affors our rent or bills and will barely be feeding ourselves. At the end of the day, he was just a number to them. They dont care if he has no where to live, nothing to eat etc.

    Thanks anyway.

    Sorry to hear that. As tough as it is, you really need to keep him motivated now, don't let him slip into a bad place.

    I'm sorry it happened, but it's not about him being just a number to them. It's about being caught giving unauthorised discounts.

    In any sales job there is a temptation to give away stuff or to 'slam' a dodgy sale through in order to hit bonus...yes there is usually a bonus, isn't there? It is a temptation that MUST be resisted if he wants to stay in sales.

    Sell clean...it's the only answer.
