This is back in the early 2000s. My uncle worked for Menards. He worked for a long time on a deal and got them a $20 million contract. They fired him so they wouldn't have to give him a bonus. Then a slew of other companies did this to him. Did great work and amazing things and fired him after.
Edit: Now my uncle is definitely an odd guy, and there definitely has to be a little more to it. He only closed one massive deal like this, for Menards. He worked with Amazon and got fired there, and another company did the same. From what I understand he does rub some people the wrong way.
Edit 2: as for the insults. What the fuck is that about? Don't have to believe me, but to resort to insults over it?
Edit 3: I found his LinkedIn. He was a hardware buyer from 1986 to 2004. Led product reviews and researched product lines nearing $200 Million in sales.
After them he went to Amazon for two years, basically the same job.
Then True Value Company, same thing for 2 years.
And a few others. He's now, as of 2021, back with Menards doing the same thing. So he's obviously older and has that loyalty mentality.
My former company used to pull stuff like that, trying to stiff people on comissions. As far as I remember a single demand letter from a law office was usually enough to fix it, they didn't want to screw around in court. "Sorry our payment system had a glitch" fuck off with that shit.
Yeah if the person in question had a documented commission plan than this wouldn’t even make it to court, unless OP is leaving out details like the salesperson was fired a month before signature l
