I need some sound advice. I took a position in June of 99 as a sales consultant for a medium sized oganization that specializes in a very unique service. The company is based in TN. My particular discipline dictates that I acquire new business in and around the Atlanta area where I reside. I work from my home. The services are security related in nature and the sales reps (12 in the Country) are paid rather well for their efforts. Upon taking the job, I realized that the other sales reps with the company did and do not follow any geographical territories. Thats OK by me as I recently signed on a large account from outside my area.
Here's the problem. The company merged with another firm recently and the salary structure is undergoing some drastic changes. While I am on a commission structure presently, I receive a draw against future earnings. Around 5K a month. This is the deal I made hiring on in June. The NEW deal would give me a base salary (3K per mo.) and performance bonuses that may or may not reach my current level of compensation.
Am required to accept this as I am being told? Have I the right to look for work with a competitor? You see, I turned down a very good offer in Atlanta in June, in order to work for this company. YES, I signed my life away as most non-lawyers would do when trying to secure employment. However, I am not the one changing the rules mid-stream. Any advice? Any help? Thank You...
