I used to work at a large, international company in an inside sales role where we were paid on a salary + commission basis. My boss sucked, there was no career path, and the corporation was an incoherent mess but the team was cool and the money was good so it wasn’t a bad gig overall. Fast forward to the end of my second year on the team and our boss calls a team meeting where his boss announces that after a long, protracted battle with the Department of Labor our team were being reclassified as hourly employees and going forward we would need to submit timesheets in order to receive our base earnings. Needless to say since we were accustomed to taking all the free time available to us during the day for lunch, coffee/smoke breaks, etc (not to mention accruing and using vacation time that no one actually bothered tracking) this was not a popular decision. After a few minutes of us arguing and pushing back against this my boss announced that the decision was done and we earned the bulk of our pay through commissions so we’ll just have to deal with it. Ok, fine.
