I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.
commission payments suddenly stopped. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have worked at this company for 2 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.
Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?
Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
I went through almost the exact same thing.
The thing that gets people is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
This happened to my coworker too.
Most folks screw this up by is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.
I'd push back on the "at-will" argument. At-will doesn't mean they can fire you for illegal reasons. If there's a discriminatory motive, that's actionable regardless of at-will status.
