Upon further inspection, my projected loss is truly negligible. But not so for others. I just happen to have a large number of clients on flat monthly-rate agreements, who wouldn't be billed extra anyway. Other co-workers stand to lose a LOT more than me, but haven't made a case of it. Boss just told me he'll bring this up at the managers' meeting this week. Problem going forward is that I'll be taking over the SW territory when I move to PHX. What are the odds there will be no more big catastrophe stories in CA for which we comp stuff again? Then it truly will be my bread and butter. I guess I'll just eat cake instead.

Had this happened in late December, a $3k cut in revenue could mean over $10k in lost commission, if it took me just below my 2007 goal. That year-end payout is an all or nothing deal.
