This is what one salesman thought when he put in a week of work, fourteen hours a day.
Then, his company attempted to restructure the entire commission systemto cheat him out of a payout.
So he decided that this was the right time to quit and take the entire company down with him.
The pay structure OP faced was certainly unorthodox, as it appeared to be fully commission-based.
In other words, if he didnt make any sales, he would get practically nothing.
While this might seem quite stressful, OP was a proficient salesman and instead turned his time into money.
So much money, in fact, that this company simply could not pay him.
If one doesnt raise a fuss, it might look like they agree with the changes.
However, OP already had a solid plan and was armed with the information Frank provided him.
But the crux of the issue is that this company didnt actually have the money necessary to pay OP.
Instead, they implemented a commission system so dumb that their best salesperson could not actually get their payout.
However, OP is right that they were cheating.
Bad policy or not, the law prohibits a company fromretroactively reducing a commission.
