I got a friend there, who gave me all their commission rates (which have done nothing but gone up since the start of the company). More importantly, their plans don't use cashgrabs like the stupid System Access Fees or $20/month CANCELLATION charges. Virgin seems to treat its employees well, and their customers too. That's gonna be my response. The answer is, check out Virgin Mobile. I got a friend there, who gave me all their commission rates (which have done nothing but gone up since the start of the company).

The company will either reduce the number of employees or the cash going out to those employees. In a commission environment it's easier for the company to change the rates than it is to let a large part of the workforce go and train their replacements. Rogers commission structure changes came like you said, just before the holiday season gets into full swing. Now Rogers can squeeze more profit out of that same workforce... for less. Now you say they are paying you for things that you didn't get paid on before. My queston is how much were you selling before and how much of whatever it is are you going to sell in the future. Anyone thinkin' "smoke and mirrrors" here?... I am. I am also very sorry for anyone affected by Rogers' decision. I know it changes alot for you all when it comes to your home, car, and or school payments. Your lifestyles have just been pulled from under your feet like a proverbial rug. I wish you all nothing but the best and a happy holiday season... or happy as possible I should say. :( It’s sad and unfortunate, but the quickest, easiest way for a company to cut expenses is labor.
