thats not actually the definition of course . but I get the point . <| sep |> Went in for an impromptu morning meeting and the whole commission sales staff was laid of , because future shop was being closed , to be reopened as Best Buy , the American company , which purchased the Canadian future shop in 2001 if I recall correctly . The management , merchandising , and customer service representatives were kept on throughout the rebranding . Commission was eliminated due to the company seeing money going to hard working employees , they could keep , by paying a set wage . If you broke my wife ' s commissions in $ hr some weeks she made $ 50 hr , others was $ 20 hr . She always averaged around $ 37 . <| sep |> True . Still completely sucks that it happened to you . I ' m sorry .
