Wondered if anyone has any experience/thoughts on the ability to bulk or recomp at maintenance or perhaps a very small deficit?
I figured if I trained and recovered well, progressively overloaded and had a diet and lifestyle that’s conducive to optimal hormones and endocrine function then it’s possible?
My worry is that it won’t work and I’ll just be spinning my wheels for months without it working.
I’m a 24 year old salesperson in England working within fintech. Last quarter, I amassed £27,000 in commission, however, the business is currently going through liquidity issues and are currently trying to raise for more investment because our burn rate is north of a million a month. As a result, there has been a number of rounds of redundancy to reduce FTE, the most recent of which was last week which I survived and have remained employed by them for nearly a year.
Due to the liquidity issues, and my success last Q, they changed the commission plan ,for me only, 5 days before I was due to be paid. (The commission plan isn’t contractually binding and it stipulates they reserve the right to change it at any time). The reasons they gave were that in hindsight they didn’t realise how successful I’d been and didn’t keep an eye on that, and that in hindsight my market is much easier (it’s genuinely not, I just worked really fucking hard) and essentially they’d be over remunerating me for my efforts which they’re not prepared to do. In other words, they can’t justify spending that amount. Instead the opted to pay me 7k.
Whilst not contractually binding, the commission plan is clear, and I’m wondering if a tribunal would look favourably on the fact that they purely changed the commission plan for me to account for my success and the fact they changed it retrospectively at the very last hurdle.
I’m wondering if, at all, there’s anything I can do and what the best route might be? I can’t exactly afford to take this all the way to litigation, do you reckon they might settle if my case is strong enough?
If I’ve missed out any key or relevant details that would be worth knowing, please do point that out. Any advice would be much appreciated🙏🏻🙏🏻
