<prompt> Human: A year ago I abandoned a great job to work for some of my best friends startup marketing business as their sales director. Admittedly, the last couple of months Dec. 17-Feb 18 have been very slow forcing me to rely on a portion of my commission draw each month. A draw is essentially a minimum I can make in a month. If my commission is greater than that amount, I collect the difference as well. Earlier this week, they came into my office to tell me that the company is struggling and they will no longer be offering me a draw effective immediately 3 days before payday. I have some deals close to closing, but this essentially means that I will go from making 4k on my mid-month check to almost nothing. I am not so much upsetangry that they are cutting my draw as I have not been performing up to my normal standards lately, but more so that they did so mid-month without any forewarning. My budget included the money guaranteed by the commission draw and now I am going to be hurting. I have been cranking 10 hour days since, trying to close some business, but our packages are expensive and the sales cycle is often months, not days.Should I be upset? What should I do?Assistant: Let me make sure Ive got this down: you bailed on a good job to work at a struggling startup without any sort of savingsemergency fund?Human: I do have an emergency fund however my girlfriend basically wife was laid off mid-2017 and asked me to take on some of the financial burdens so that she could follow her career dreams thus eating into my savings. I am not going to go hungry or homeless this month but it definitely hurts.My question is more directed toward the fact that they announced this 3 days before I was supposed to receive a check.  <response>: My question is more directed toward the fact that they announced this 3 days before I was supposed to receive a check.Well, thats super shitty. Especially if this is your best friend.But probably completely legal.Either way, it sounds like you need a new job immediately, since this one is not looking like its going to be around much longer.
