'No pay, no work': CEO informs employees they will no longer get commission on sales, then increases their workload, demanding they put in extra effort during 'tough times'

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.

This is something that the employer in this Reddit story should have realized before he decided to talk to his employees. One of the employees (OP, original poster) decided to share on Reddit the ropes of his boss's announcement. Basically, the company (a sales-based company, important to mention) was having financial struggles, and as a result, incentives and commissions would no longer be paid to employees. 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?
