Lots of options day.
Firstly, I've had several problems lately with my current commission scale or at least it's bad timing. Having to wait each month until the 15th for my commission is and was killing me.
I had to explain to my boss that if they closed the books at the end of the month and the company had not paid my commission until the last day of the month or the beginning of the next then I would have to wait another month for my money. I think she understood.
The other problem was my current book, it's not enough.
I feel frozen when I try to grow it just because it takes absoultely months to get any money out of it. If you have to wait two months past the effective date to get the money then your always working for a future you might not see.
The other issue is my own personal healthcare costs, it's close to $700 for just me! It's hard for her to justify paying that plus commission when I can't get my own stuff going. So I suggested that she lay me off and I get unemployment and then I would qualify for Medicaid. But after some research I found out that I'm not eligible because I own a home. They think you can simply sell your house. Funny.
So the other option is that they pay me more, no word on that but it's not likely.
In further discussions with my sister I found another slightly sticky solution I'll not name.
I refuse to let the current economic situation I'm in and others to get me down.
So after all this discussion, my boss said she'll get back to me. I'll have to inform her that the Medicaid option isn't available to me. Perhaps my sticky solution may save the day.
I'd like to keep working and do it from home if possible. I think I could cold call and send out quotes pretty effectively from here. But it's silly to spend hours on end working at something that doesn't pay any of my bills.
It's funny that I love what I do and I refuse to think that I will be anything but good at this.
So I should have some answers to my questions--tomorrow.
Okay on a none whiney tone...
My car dealership deal is still going and going. After reworking this deal 50 times we finally have a decent rate and every salesman is balking. So my boss and I will be over there on Friday after their sales meeting which we've been warned is gonna be kinda scary.
So you finally get an employer to agree to pay a good amount for a good plan and now it's gonna go to hell cause of the negative attitudes. I think if I work with my boss on this on Friday morning we'll be able to figure it out. I want this over.
