What is the name of your state?
MASSACHUSETTS
i joined a company back in june '05 for employment. this job, btw, is
a tele-sales job. during my interview, the 3 guys interviewing me told
me that the average first year employees' total compensation will be
$65K/year. moreover, it's written on company's advertisements and in
our notes that the first year average total compensation is $65K "with
the potential to earn $100K+".
i turned down a $70K job for this crap job whose base salary is
$12/hour (or $25K/year) + a small commission. i did some research
within my company, and this is what i found out:
1. nobody is getting anything close to $60K/year. and i have proof of
this.
2. they told *everybody* in the interviews that we can expect to make
$70k/year.
3. our average salary is more like $32K/year.
4. i have many witnesses who were lied to, and they all feel violated
and tricked.
5. i have the advertisement on our corporate website stating that the
total salary averages out to be $65k with the potential to make $100k.
6. i have additional proof stating the commission that every employee
has earned their first year here or they commission that they are on
track to make. this figure does *NOT* represent their total
compensation with the salary of ~$25k/year. i downloaded this info
from our public information computer systems.
i'm seriously thinking of suing this company, because we were all
duped. everyday, i come to work, and i see many sad faces, and i want
to do something honorable and brave for these innocent people. we are
so poor, that i'm buying clothes from e-bay now!
assuming that i won the case after one year of total employment (and
assuming that i only earned $32k), i feel that i'm entitled to *more*
than what i should have made at this company (the mean of $60k-$65k) if
i were to win this case. if i simply sue for ~$30k, THIS WILL NOT BE A
DETERRENT TO THE EMPLOYERS simply because all they are being asked to
do is what they stated they would do. By asking one party to obey
their contracts does NOT PUNISH the delinquent/dishonest party.
do i have a case if i take the employers to court?
what are your suggestions to procede with this case?
what am i/we entitled to?
questions/comments/suggestions?
