How do I tell my boss I am tired of getting walked on?



I am in inside sales but do not make commisions. My coworker is outside sales and makes commisions. Not only does he make commisions, but he makes them off of what i sell as well. He gets his commision check on the 15th of every month, right in front of me and i am getting pissed. I sell alot more than he does. He sits on his butt at his house most of the time. (i cant prove that). Why sell when he make commision off of what i sell.

Ask

Show that you produce (sales) for this company then ask for a better compensation package. Give them a firm deadline (like the end of the day or week).

After you ask for a better package, leave for the day and go talk to a competitor.

There are plenty of commission sales jobs around.

Good Luck & Don't settle for less than you are worth.

i hate to break the news my friend but your boss already knows. you are but a pawn in the game of life.
I would say the easiest way to tell him is, "I Quit!"


Or slow down the sales a bit and let him know you just have not felt very motivated lately, especially around the 15th.
You should ask your boss for a private talk and tell him EXACTLY the same you told us. Tell him it is just unfair, and that you are looking for a win-win situation, where the company wins (you sell a lot, so they know they win) but you also win.
Good luck and DONT BE SCARED!
