So I got a job that allows me to get commission. In the interview and my acceptance letter it said I could make up to 25% commision, and I took the job because he acted like the commission was a huge part of the job and I would be making a boatload of money. However two weeks into my training I had to sign a commission sheet, that explained to the commissions. When I looked, it was backdated to 2022, and the highest commission I could ever make would be 16% and that was with a extra license I had to get. Then I get told that only one person has ever gotten to that highest tier in the whole time that it has been available. It also turns out that it’s extremely hard to get sales in the specific job I’m in because I’m not really a salesperman, but a customer service person. If I do happen to get 10 sales, I only get 1% commission. It’s also teered by ten sales per teer. So in order to get the next percentage I have to make 20 sales. Anyways I asked about why I was lied to, and all my supervisor could say was excuses about how I can make money other places. But they said that they would tell my hiring manager, and they would discuss it when they got back from vacation. They also said it will be talked about in the commission meeting in a few days. It was never brought up at that meeting, and when my manager just got back from vacation, he never mentioned it. There’s a few other reasons, but I decided to quit and I stated the the lie in commission as one of my reasons. And all my manager replied back with was, “So you want to be a salesman?”. Because if you’re a salesman instead of a customer service rep, that’s the commission you can make. I said no, because that’s not the job that I got hired in as, and that’s a very different job than what I I was currently doing. To me it’s more about the fact that they lied to try to get me in the door, rather than the money, and did not follow up with me about why there was that error. What do you all think? Am I being too petty? My boyfriend seem to think that that wasn’t that high of an error. He also said that they probably said 25% because in a few years maybe they’ll change it, and then I will be able to make 25%. I think that’s a lame excuse, and it should just be accurate.
