Anytime you're job hunting and see a job that's 1099 or an Independent Contractor job like in sales but you see it has requirements that would be classified as an employee please report that. There's so many employers getting away with this to profit at the employees expense.
My experience is in sales and marketing and commission only jobs don't make sense. They're only paying me when I'm successful rather than paying me for my actual work. I should be paid to work and incentivized for success.
Take action every chance you get, I know with not working I'm bored and I wanna be productive so instead of just complaining to this circle jerk, complain to people who can do something about this maybe. At least gives me something to do so I maybe can accomplish a little bit of good in this wicked world.
