So, First official working day, first meeting at 9.55am, and the news is:-
Our Commissions gating has been taken away! This is good - previously, if you didn't make the minimum gating (30% / 45% 60%, or whatever it was at that point in the year) you didn't get any commission. Now, as you sign a deal, you get paid (still 3 months later though).
Our salary split is now 55 / 45, no longer 60/40. This means I will take home, on an ordinary month (excluding any comm.) about 10% less than I did last year.
The boss started out with the normal "The corporation has done a study in the market...", and I stopped him there, telling him I didn't want to hear it, it was the same every year for 12 years. I can take him now to my competitors who do the same work as I do, earn 15 - 20% more than I do with a lower target each year! So he left it at that. I then repeated my statement that I am only here for now because I have to be, and am planning to leave asap. The first opp. I get to move to another company, I'm gone.
I must say that many of my peers feel the same way as I do, and if they react like I did, and all manage to get other jobs, this division will be in serious trouble, not that it isn't already.
Right now, I am happy to take any other position, even if I have to work in places like the Congo, Nigeria, Angola, Dubai.......
Salagatle!
