A job that is based on incentives and commissions is not that hard to comprehend. The better you do at your job–the more money you get out of it. Simple math. Especially when it comes to a sales job. The more you sell, the more you get paid. If an employer takes away the incentives and commissions, well, that is also simple math, no incentives to sell more–less sales.

The question is, who's going to tell this guy that taking away the incentive for employees to make more sales is not going to help with the company's financial problems?
