If you're in sales you usually have them. I think cops have quotas for handing out tickets though I don't know that for sure.
Some charities have quotas they shoot for. Even scouts have quotas for the cookies they sell.
Puts a lotta pressure on you doesn't it?
My only quota in any job I ever had was to do my best and I did. Beyond that I did not have a specific "nut" to crack.
I did know a salesman once whom I thought was treated VERY UNFAIRLY. He developed a territory and had lots of sales and his company SPLIT it on him and gave one part to another sales person. Ever hear of anything as despicable as that?
