Yes, very dumb plan. Commissions are not really capped, but we didn't even get our goals for 2011 until March 18th, though we had a "consultant" working on them since last October. And the goals and comp plan were finally announced, the outcry got them changed again a month later. Some of us got true-up checks by May. But they had been paying everyone until then AS IF they were at 100% of goal. So those who weren't had some draw debt to pay back. Total BS. The whole point of this plan was to see how everyone was doing for Q1 and then to adjust the goals retroactively to make sure no one made more than last year AND also to raise the profitibilty such that the SVP can claim that when he gets fired and parachutes out to his next job. My boss is the best, but he's not the big boss. He can't change the comp plan, but he can approve sizeable base salary raises.
