this guy right here is not a happy camper. yesterday at our meeting we talked about our bonus' and raises for next year. they are completely changing the way that we get paid next year. supossidly we are supossed to be making the same amount of money and then some. to bad thats not how its going to work.
right now we are on a base pay scale. which means we get paid 55 hours. 40 straight and 15 overtime. plus car allowance. well starting january 1st they are putting us on salary. we wont get paid every week now. we'll get paid twice a month. which means they will take more taxes out now. basically, it boils down to how well we do in our teritory and route. if we hit over our projected numbers we will get a bonus quaterly. but if we don't hit our number they take money from us. does this make sense? i think not. it's supossed to be a BONUS and were supossed to be rewarded for the work we do. not take money from us. that's absoulutely insane.
basically what it boils down to is that every rep is pissed off right now. i did the math and i think i will be losing 400 bucka month. thats 4,800 a year. thats a huge pay cut. and i can't afford that big of a pay loss. nor can anyone else in my position. yeah its stupid for me to bitch about money and all that jazz, but i'm sorry that's how i live accordinly to what i make. i have bills and a mouth to feed. i need that money. basically what it boils down to is that after the first month if i'm losing big time money, im out of this job and am going to start to look for a new one. theres more things complicated about this but its kind of hard to explain in a journal.
last night i was supossed to go to 80's night. i didn't end up going because i fell asleep on the couch. i was going to meet andrea up there. i hope she isn't mad at me for not showing up. *sigh*
i need to go christmas shopping. but everytime i try to go, i end up buying stuff for myself
