If you messed up at work - didn't lose the sale, just delayed the remittance - and you owned up to your boss and he said okay, you get your base salary, but you didn't earn the commission. And I'm writing you up. Thanks for your honesty.
How you liking that? Do you like it more if that commission was what you're counting on to make the mortgage payment?
Ha..top this.
I work for an A-hole of epic proportions. I tried for 9 years to get one particular account. Finally I got them to write an order....order received and in process. Then A-hole noticed a mistake that HE made in the pricing. 100% his fault. Not only did he have the balls to call my customer and ask for 20% more money to process the PO (it was too late for them to find another vendor at this point ) but he cut my commission in half. So I had to pay for his mistake. I am sure he considered not paying me a commission at all for the order.
Sorry for the hijack but yes...if I made a mistake it would come out of my pocket.
