My previous employer, Spoton, https://www.spoton.com/ , eliminated the entire nations sales staff's pay and forced us to sign a new employee agreement to be 100% commission as W2 employees or be fired immediately.
Mind you, all of their profits come as a result of these employees being in the field, driving their own vehiclesɛm with zero gas or vehicle maintenance reimbursement, to source leads and close new business.
They have since lost about 50% of their employees including management due to this ridiculous choice and all have been replaced within a month with 100% commission employees.
They told me point blanket the $5k commission I was owed for my last deal would never come because they were terminating me in a week and if I'm not with the company, they don't have to pay me, so I quit.
Is this ridiculous or do they have the upper hand? Considering consulting with an attorney but that will likely negate that payout, which is probably exactly what they want.
These corrupt fucks just can't keep getting away with this.
