Company 1 (bad)

Yeah i know i'm ranting below but it pisses me off.

Since i started working for the company i work for now it has gone down hill. When i started working i made a low hourly wage with a chance for commission being about 60% of my hourly pay if i hit my quotas and 240% if i doubled my quota which was very nice. Averaged a decent living, not amazing but it was enough to live on and save a little. Our quotas were reasonable, most of the staff would hit their quota and a few of us, i would say 15% would consistently do 200% or more. Wonderful. I found after a year passed we got a small raise due to a commission reduction, when all was said and done i made about 10% less. Which sucked being as every $10,000 per year i made i was making $1,000 less only netting $9,000 because of this. Ok so my wife and i made some minor changes and made this work still keeping our savings per month the same. 6 months later they decided we were being paid to much and even told us oh were paying you all more then other companies make so we will decrease your pay and increase your quotas. So that's lovely and was followed by saying oh you know those yearly raises? We have decided not to do that this year to. Well screw you all. First you pay me less, then you make me do more, now you refuse to give me the raise i earned, whats next?? 6 months later (current day) were being told oh we will decrease your pay yet again, increase your quotas by 50%. 50 god damn percent. Now when i compare my pay from when i started to now i am making about 65% what i did. To make it worse they are lying to us. We were told they will stop paying us 10% for accessories and pay us on a 4,6,8% level depending on what we sell. Then said we will pay you more and give you 5%, i said what do you mean pay me more i'm in the 8% scale because i'm selling well, and they followed that up by telling me yeah but you will make more because you don't get a 4% tier. The hell?!? So your telling me 8% of $6,000 is less then 5% of that same $6,000? You liar! They tole me no that's not the case, i asked them to explain. They told me well your goal use to be $4,000 and now its around $7,000 so when i hit my goal i make more. Well of course i make more when i sell more but all you did was try to make me work harder for less pay stop covering it up! Then they said you know what lets just go to flat 4% instead and increase your quota another 25%. Then they said well if you hit 100% of your goal you will be paid this amount and 15% of that use to be for accessories, now its 40%. The hell do you mean?!? That's the only thing i sell that is % based on a $ amount everything else is a quantity so all your doing is decreasing my pay else ware. So your telling me i sell 10 things from category A it counts for 15% of my goal commission pay rather then 40%? So i have to sell almost 3 times as much to get the same amount and my accessories count as 40% instead of 15% and that means NOTHING and now have to sell $10,000 in accessories to get the same amount of pay $4,000 use to yield because you decreased the payout from 10% to 4%? Your not being clever your just being jerks! Now were trying to save for a house and our saving are being forced to go down and we are being forced to wait longer because you neglect your employees? Oh that's not all, When i started (February 2014) I was told the work year is considered April to April and thought nothing off it. When June came around i was selling only around 100% quota and was considered to be in the top 1/3 of employees, not great but better then average so ill take it. In July they told me top 100 people in the region get what they call pinnacle club, i thought nothing of it because i don't like sales so i just did my job and got paid and tried to improve just to get more money. September came around and i was in the top 25% which again is above average but not great. This is when they told me if i achieved it i would be rewarded with either a vacation or large lump sum of money (i later clarified this amount to be several thousand dollars). Beautiful, i worked my ass off to get this to happen and April rolled around and i did not make it. I was in the top 200 but not 100 which was GREAT but not good enough. 2015-2016 though i did it. April 2016 i checked the rankings i was #63, took a screenshot and emailed it to myself. I was told the reward would be announced in May. It was not, i was told beginning of June because they were "working things out". Nope, its not July and i have herd nothing, when i ask about it i'm told the prizes are already awarded and no one knows who got it, what they got and even on the company intranet search reveals no results for 2015-2016 pinnacle club. So now i lost out on that and i cant get a reason why. That's not all theirs more! In February 2016 i was told the CEO would be in town and they needed help, they were short staffed i was doing top 1% in the company and i was nearby and willing to drive 45 min to help out, in return they offered me a $50 bonus. They said they ran out of bonuses and they would reset in April, then May, Then June, and i'm still missing my bonus. They added a bonus on our commission at which i earned $210, took screenshots, sent emails saying so, sent pay stubs to payroll, HR and my manager telling them. They originally gave me $3 and told me they made a mistake, i said OK, no problem, a little late but ill get the money i'm not in dire need living paycheck to paycheck. They sent me an email saying here is another $57 to finish the commission. I sent them an email back saying i am missing $150, took screenshots of pay stubs, bonus requirements, the sales i had regarding it and basically proved that i'm missing money. The reply i got, oh i cant help you you have to talk to your manager. He does not control my bonus! But i talked to him anyway and he said there is nothing he can do but send that info to the people i sent it to and they told him the same thing that he needs to send it to his manager! Never got that money and that was 4 months ago. Their are more issues, all in all the company owes me a total of $265 in bonuses i am missing, several thousand for pinnacle, took 35% of my pay away, are working me harder and now want me to cold call people and tag their cars? I need a new job this is BS and i don't know how much longer i can take it. Anyway that's my rant let me know what you think. And for the record i am not the only one missing money, several coworkers and even my bosses are missing money the company does not want to pay us for unknown reasons. Comment below.
