I was in charge with creating, designing, configuring, and running an e-commerce site on Shopify as well as responding to customer emails and orders. This was for a start-up. First orders would get a promo code for a 15% discount on a next purchase.

CEO tells me we need to get rid of stock fast as possible, so make a storewide discount on certain models. I go and do that.

We receive a bulk order of 50 of the discounted units while also using the 15% off promo code we sent out to early purchasers. Realized I should have put in a rule that doesn’t allow discounts to stack…

CEO and other members all unanimously voted to get rid of me a couple of hours later.
