Lying about pay. Ripoff

Getting tired of my old job due to being underpaid for ridiculous amounts of work and long hours, I went on a job hunt.in the paper, I found an ad in the general section for a job that paid $600 a week and were hiring from Management postions on down. I call and they tell me where to go for the interview.

Okay, I get there and I hand over my resume. He scans it a bit and then tells me I got the job. Hmm, I bit too easy, me thinks. I thought about it, then shrugged it off 600 a week sure beat 200, right? Okay, so I got to orientation. The guy there says the base pay is 450 a week instead of 600, like the ad said. Okay, no harm done. It's still double what my other job was paying me.

We're shown the vaccuum, taught how to put it together and all, then given the "It really sells itself" speech. Honestly, I get sucked in. Okay, so I end up quitting my old job since I have a job that pays 450 as base pay. The guy said that we would get that whether we made sales or not.

The paychecks are distriubuted on Mondays and about two weeks go by. I didn't collect mine yet, so when I did, it was missing. So I ask about it. And the first thing the guy asks me is, "Did you make any sales?" I nodded. I made two sales, but I asked what difference did it make to the pay check since the base pay was $450. And that when he said, "What are you talking about? There IS no base pay."

I was PISSED. They tricked me into quitting a job that was stressful ass hell, but at least had the decency to pay me for working.

I spent days and many nights going in and out of houses to do those stupid demos. I mean I wouldn'd get back home until 11pm sometimes after leaving the house 8 or so in the morning. I worked SIX days a week for those clowns and all I got for my work was a check for friggin $25! I spent the next 5 months after that finding a new job as my phone was cut off and all my other monthly bills pilled up on me. I have a job now, but thinking about how the Kriby company screwed me over makes me want to break one of those $1600 machines over their heads.

If Kirby offers you a job, folks, just say NO.
