its policy if we refer a cater we are supposed to get a % of the bill.

my friend who is a assistant tool pusher for Halliburton has got 2 well sites being drilled one after another.
anyways I told him come get catering from us and say my name and I get a bonus.

anyways a few weeks go bye two paychecks and no bonus, I asked about it and got no answer was told it was up to the gm.
so anyways I mentioned something to my buddy last week about it and he said I will address it. This morning I go to work and the cater has been cancelled.

two caters a day at $550 a pop for how ever long it takes to drill two wells gone

Nice, cut off your nose to spite your face. Now you will definitely get nothing as opposed to a possibility. Did you ever even contemplate at least some of the money from a referral has to come in before you are paid?



Most referrals work that way when it is a %.




You really won though. rolling_eyes




You have to be trolling though, no one is as consistently idiotic as you.

they pay daily with a credit card when we deliver the cater.

2 pay periods have went bye.

I asked questions first and made sure my ducks where in a row.

you probably don't get the bonus until they've paid something for the catering.

You forgot the ducks of asking the GM and what Tipz and I have already said.



The way you worded it though it sounded like he cancelled the catering before it started.



Maybe your food just sucks then?

no the guy ordering the food is my friend, they have two wells to frack and he is one of the boss types. I told him when he comes back to town to start fracking get catering from my store, so I can get a bonus from the referral. I saw him last week and asked if he gave them my name and he said yes and then I forget about it and I was off sunday and monday and apparently, he cancelled the cater after last week.

restaurants and food service are managed and run by scumbags who will think nothing of stabbing you in the ass at any and every opportunity and mostly dont give a rats ass if they get caught.

that said, happy to hear you shut it down if for no other reason than to say "you got caught".

I will say when I first started in the IT business, I worked at this crappy tech support company that charged about 90/hour for support. Techs were expected to not only fix customer issues but sell support plans. First month I worked there I came in second place for the whole company. They said since I was still considered "in training" I wasn't eligible for the bonus you got for doing so. I never sold another plan.

you aint lived till you worked in the kitchen of a restaurant. most of the cooks I knew were on coke most of the time and sometimes it was supplied as part of their pay by the GM. tongue

Because such behavior is in fact encouraged by senior management - how do you think those dipsihts got promoted to managers in the first place?


FTFY

And another perfect example:

The "trainee = no bonus" concept has been abused in pretty much every sales-related position since the dawn of time. In fact, show me a salesman who hasn't been jerked around by their employer using shady practices with their bonuses and I'll show you a salesman who isn't really a salesman.

I'll tell you how the ones I knew got there and it wasnt by climbing the ladder. it was either knowing the owner or being part of the owners family.

Is this the same company you are going to let put you thru some training classes or something?
