I also had a similar thing happen with monthly revenue goals when my current job was with the same boss at a different employer. We were bought out by our biggest competitor in 2006, so I work for them now, but still have the same boss. Anyway, back then we had monthly revenue goals and were paid 15% of revenue above that goal. Every year it went up significantly, which meant we had to bring in that much more revenue to make the same money we made the previous year. We almost never got a bump in base salary or commission cut. It always chapped my hide, but I did always manage to make it and always made more each year than the last. Though in my second year when I was making nowhere near what I was told I'd be making if I was any good, and my boss always told me I was good, I threatened to leave when I had a better offer. I got an on the spot 50% raise retroactive to the first of that month and with my quota set in stone for the next 18 mos. That was a good deal.
