A good friend of mine manages the local CC. As usual, the media is grossly mistating the story. Here are the facts:

A few years ago, CC moved from commission to hourly for its sales staff. The hourly wage for empoyees who made the transition was deteremined by dividing their commission for their top three sales months by the hours they worked those months. A LOT of people were getting $35 an hour or more. Those who were earning more than $20 an hour were told they had two years to find a job in management or they would be fired. Well, two years have passed and 3,500 people did not find those jobs. This was no surprise, everyone knew this was coming, management IS NOT being fired. The press is distorting the facts to create an "angle" for the story that does not exist.
