Town politics suck ass
Oct. 13th, 2005 05:15 pmI'm ready to cry or throw in the towel with this effin' job.
I've been getting commission for over a year to do the website. And it was a nice commission. Twice what I'm making at my normal job. Not within the range of what most web designers can ask for, but better than the peanuts I was making.
Now after nearly getting caught essentially paying me under the table, the treasurer has decided that I can't be paid on commission any more. I think they want to give me comp time instead of paying me, but comp is worthless. It's basically paid vacation. And I thought I already taught them a lesson by stocking up my comp hours to a very, very obscene amount. I think the other route they want to take is when they give me my new hours they won't pay me extra for the website.
I've got a tentative meeting with our director tomorrow (because I'm not the only one affected by this) and I've decided I'm putting my foot down on this matter. Either they find a way to pay me for this, or I do nothing.
