Goddam gallery tells me that $500+ of the commission I was expecting isn't coming to me-- a misunderstanding. Oops and sorry ( Read more... )

what was the commission for? I believe it though, we screwed an associate recently. He was paid out for vacation when we transferred him into a new rec and was paid out 230 bucks and now he has to pay it back even though he told us right away what happened so basically he gets no paycheck this week. I tried so hard to get it fixed and they are like, 'oh well'

It was for a bunch of antique prints: a coupla hand-colored prints by a fellow named Gould, for about $800 apiece; a bunch of Regency-era prints; basically, some stuff that I put some research into selling, and won't be getting commission for. Daggit.

And I'm really nervous about bitching too much about it, because the last person who got booted was booted for asking for too much money, and I could really use the money, let alone the experience of working in my field.

You work at a Gallery? Is there something in writing that you can use to your defense, because that isn't cool.

My hours got cut because a union employee (which I'm not) failed her probationary period in a different department and was transfered back into ours. She doesn't do anything; just plays solitare... It's just a bad time of year for employment...
