#2If you leave voluntarily, I can see your contract could plausibly deny you points on sales completed after you walked.
If you are on commission and the tail payment is not paid because they sacked you without cause, I would be surprised if the payment was not still due. It feels like its a part of the conditions of employment you can't avoid by firing somebody simply to downsize.
Doubtless some truly shitty employment law loophole means this assumptive, pathetic "but thats unreasonable" idea is wrong, but thats what I'd assume: the work was done for payment on completion, how can it not be paid, if the customer completes? If this was true, then the history of commission selling would be littered with lawsuits leading to some law to clarify.
If its clearly at-risk payment subject to retained employment, thats a huge rip-off, which makes me glad I have never, ever worked on commission.

#5This is how clueless but innocent individuals suffer for (whimsical) promises / decisions of leaders.
Musk promises profitability - sale's not picking up, production is far behind, cost of production isn't reducing... the low hanging fruit - employees.
I am waiting for how the employees would respond to the increased pressure. If I worked there, I'd have already blasted my resumes months ago.

#7My vote for a 'convert submitted amp links to normal links' automatism on HN. Or simply a block like 'You are trying to submit the amp version of a page. Please submit the original'.
By the way, shouldnt amp versions automatically have a 'Go to the real page' link on the top or something?
I see a totally absurd version of the page on my 30" monitor. With no obvious way to go to the normal page.
Not even the url has a clear indication where the normal version is. Guess you have to read it from the rel="canonical" link in the source code.

You can only bring a lawsuit if you have the money for a lawyer in the first place. If your employer is not paying you, then you are already out a lot of money you could have used to defend your rights

#10I don't think there will be enough business for the staff levels that they have," she said. "I would be scared to lose my job if I still had one.
This seems consistent with the company's statements that they are restructuring to boost profitability, as opposed to a frantic move to conserve a dwindling cash reserve.
