bear with me, Im upset right now and have been fighting off an anxiety attack for a few hours.....part of my wage is commission, if I sell over 25 pieces a week, I get $8 per painting that I sell.
last week on my shifts I sold 30 pieces, 7 thursday,8 friday, 15 sunday.
however my co-worker turned up with a "suprize!" on my sunday shift and said that because he was 13 under his weekly goal the boss said we could work "together" and we would both be credited for the work. we sold 15. the coworker said I wouldnt be peanalised for working the same day he did and all sales would count towards both totals. the owners hadnt called me about him coming in.... not even to tell me let alone ask me!
2 weeks previously I had sold 13 on a sunday (its ALWAYS my busiest day) and 3 weeks before that I had sold 16 on my sunday shift. so selling the 15 meant that it was a consistant sales day but not any higher than usual despite a second salesperson being there. this is important to remember.
now every single week at least once my bosses call me, its usually 2-3 times and this week they have not called ONCE, I recived my paycheque and $40 commssion is missing. (5 X 8 = $40) when I mentioned it to the coworker, he acted like I hadnt even spoken, almost like a finger in your ears I cant hear you moment, told me to call the owners about it then rapidly changed the subject
im really suspicious, ive found out over the past weeks that ive been flat our LIED TO about a number of things, now $40 may not seem like much but, heck thats a weeks worth of food for me and kyle!! or a new pair of sneakers which I desperatly need. Im scared they are going to try and screw me out of the money
I wouldnt put it past them, its not fair, the coworker gets SIX days to get to his total, I only get 3 six hour shifts and they are late nights which are quiet.
to make matters worse Ive only sold 3 so far this week ( a stupid lady spent 1/2 hour venting about how her marrige had broken up and she was going through a custody battle only to pick out 3 paintings then say she would come back tomorrow to pay for them.... I DONT WORK TOMORROW ARGH) so thats 3 of my total gone....
so now if i ring up to ask about my missing money its not going to sound really great with a crappy ass sales figure for this week!! plus I have to call them, phones set off my anxiety like you wouldnt believe I hate hate hate them. (haha and shes going to work in a call centre I hear you say.. well making calls) especially when I have to talk to someone whom I know has NO PROBLEM lying to my face
someones taking that commission away from me, I dont know if its the co-worker or the owners... kyle says let the money go, but I cant, I damn well earned it!!
please give me some advice Im really genuniely upset about this.
