Hi
I hope this is right place for this!
I work in a sales role - while I get commission, I have no targets set in concrete. I have worked there 4 years, and is a small company. About 2 years ago, there was another sales person hired, and they have done good sales - approx 40% more than mine.
In the last 12 months, things have gone bad, and my boss has come to me and said he has to drop one of the sales positions. He explains as my sales are the less, he must drop my position (there is a slight difference in our job description). He offers me two options:
1/. Redundncy - the minimum obligation - but I can reapply for a new part-time position at less money, with less responsibility..
2/. My hours are cut by 50% and I can claim social welfare.. but there will be no redundancy.
Is this right? What should I do? Maybe good for me to take social welfare and go to college in evenings for new qualification? Am I mad?
Should it not be the new person who is cut as I have no set target?
Any help, would be great. Thanks.
Massimo
