Okay before i begin ranting like a motherfker ...
Retail sales if you sell you can get commission. If you dont do sales, you dont get any. But sometimes you have fixed commission no matter how much you sell.
Pool sales = EVERYONE SALES COMBINED. Commission divided
Commission also follows like if you hit your target you get an amount. If you dont, less. If more, you get more. Simple right? This is a tactic used by businesses to motivate the workers to do more sales. Good right?
What if it provokes the workers to go against each other in terms of GREED? Because if i steal your sales, i get more money than you. Or that you accidentally stole someone else's sales? You get money and not him/her. Enemies can be made in a second and those you think is your friends can just turn against you.
This is business.
Anyways, back to my ranting..
I as a short term worker, i get a fixed commission. Other long term workers get a variable one. So before this. whatever sales i do, whoever helps me with the cashier (because i cant handle the cashier as im short term) will get the sales (or whoever i choose). So this equals to long term workers being bullies to me and asking me to do sales and they get money. But i didnt mind. Cause i just like talking and selling. And i dont do ALOT of sales anyways.. and my commission is pretty okay. haha. I dont complain about that. But now, starting today. They store got told that whatever sales i do, must go under my name. And i have a target to hit as well. SOOOO. This means... if i do a sale, i have to ask someone else to help me do cashier and put under my name. Sounds simple? yes. But wait let me make it more complicated...
If you help me, you lose time for sales. Processing the sales into my name. Your effort into my sales total. You dont get any commission. You have a chance to change my name into your name to put into your sales.
Now do you understand?
I dont mind if you do it. But the fact that if i have 0 sales. i have to face the manager that will question me -_- apparently before this. Sales i do suppose to go under the manager's name. She wondered why i had no sales. Then i told her that i gave the others. Cause they help me do cashier. Then she sat down with me and gave me a talk that i cannot do that even with fixed commission.
TADAH. MY LIFE. I just feel like confronting them. But i dont wanna make this into a drama. Can anyone suggest me anything to say to them perhaps in a more polite way? Or words that i should use?
Sorry for ranting. Just sharing my experience in retail. :) I think it is a good experience feeling this way i think. Because in real life, there is almost no one whom you can actually trust. Everyone wants an advantage. That is why people get to better universities for better education and qualifications. I actually pity this worker. Her name is L. She is gonna work there for 2 more years to afford her degree. She has been top sales for 3 months. Her sales has been stolen too. But even with that. She still beats the "lazy" others. And can you imagine -_- The others gossip about her and make a bad name for her calling her "dewi" to insult her and be-fool her. Tsk. Pathetic. And worse is because im chinese and i can actually understand ABIT (yes abit although im banana) customers in chinese, i get sorta more sales AND i can speak in Malay too.
HAIH. RANT RANT RANT. kbye.
