I took a job where I got paid commission for each job. I discussed pay in depth discussing what I should make and what the minimum I needed was. Everything seemed great. Assured I can make that easily. I start to train and I see my co-workers making what i thought I would make and some more. Seemed great!
A week before I am done with training, multiple clients sign enormous contracts to do a shitload of work. I am informed I will be the one doing, but that getting paid by comisson will result in me getting paid too little so they tell me they are going to pay me hourly. They then offer we an hourly rate that would leave me taking home 20%+ less than anticipated! I told them it wasn't enough and it would leave me severely underpaid compared to my colleagues. My manager spoke with upper management and they refused to negotiate. I said that wasn't going to cut it and immediately resigned. Spent money to train me for nothing, wasted my time. Just an awful experience. There was just no way I could allow then to underpay me like that.
