I didn’t want to put this in the Pit, because I’m not really that mad…just vaguely annoyed. I promise I won’t curse.
First, I get a commission check once a month, in addition to my regular salary. This month my check didn’t show up. I’ve heard vague rumors that my position will now get paid commission at the end of the year in one lump sum…not monthly. I had no notice and, in fact, have still not been notified formally. I spoke with my supervisor about this, he said that the rumor I heard was probably true…he had heard something about that, too. He’s checking into it for me. Is this legal? Can they just change your compensation without telling you? I’m worried that at the end of the year, they’ll say woops! No check!
Second, another person in my office is having her last day today. Instead of replacing her, several of us just got emails with a list of all her job responsibilities and which of them we’re each going to now assume. On her last day! So, I guess I’m going to go and stand in line to get all the information from her that I need to do these things.
Third, I had an eye exam a few weeks ago. The doctor told me that my contact lens strength was on the border between two things. She gave me a sample, told me to try them out and give her a call to place my order if they worked out. I did that and the person who answered the phone said that I had to come in and see the doctor again in order to get my lenses…and she wants to charge me for a visit!! (I plan to take this up with the doctor).
Like I said, nothing major, but I feel better now that I vented.
