I feel like commission roles are a thing of the past, considering what I'm seeing in my job searches. Do you see any retail employers still offering commission-based roles, or are they all completely shifting toward flat hourly pay?

I’ve noticed the same shift. A lot of companies moved away from commission because hourly pay is easier to control and forecast. There are still some commission heavy roles out there, but they tend to be in higher ticket sales like furniture, jewelry, or certain electronics. Most general retail seems to be leaning toward hourly plus small incentives now.

I think many big-box chains moved to hourly pay for predictability, but luxury and specialty stores still rely on commission to drive performance. What kind of retail job are you looking for?

Agreed. This is definitely a strategy to encourage employees to reach sales goals

I don’t know of any recent examples of commission based retail jobs

In the beginning of my career I absconded 1 company who had 3 years bond and I worked there for 5 months. My pf account is created for that company and it has been closed with reason cessation (short service). After that I worked in 1 company for 6 years and since January I'm working in TCS. Should I mention my first company experience. So far I'm not mentioning it anywhere.

Hi Fishes,
Had a very serious query. In my current organization I was not under taxable bracket by any means so I didn't submit any investment declarations or anything. But I'll start a new job in 2 weeks where I'll be under taxable bracket. So will I get a chance to submit my investment declarations in the new company for tds calculations in the middle of the year ? I'm new to everything so would appreciate your help. TIA :)

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh
