commission

The Golden Rule

I work in sales for a small construction materials company. I come from a tech sales background and have turned things from a fingers crossed environment to a seek and destroy, create pipeline and forecast model. Needless to say sales are up. Commission however is hard to come by and my boss is always slow paying his bills. (Sucks to be him actually, his customers consistently slow pay him.) My base pay gets paid like clockwork. However my pre-negotiated, target based commission gets paid whenever they feel like it. My mortgage is due, my pool needs to be open, my car needs tags and I can't get paid. Would love to walk if I wouldn't be Brooklyn in three months. In conclusion, my boss is a church going deacon who lives by the golden rule. Whoever has the gold makes the rules.

New Office

My new office is actually a “reconstructed” fitting room. The sales associates are complaining that my new space is interfering with their commission and want me to re-locate.
