That situation is understandably frustrating — a sudden shift from a salaried role to commission-only changes your entire financial stability overnight. Here’s how to approach it strategically:Clarify your employment status — Ask whether this rebrand constitutes a termination and rehire under a new entity. If so, you may be entitled to severance or unemployment benefits.Review your contract — Check if your original agreement included protections against unilateral pay changes. If it did, you could have grounds for legal recourse.Assess the commission model — A 50% commission sounds high, but without guaranteed income, it’s risky unless you have a strong client base and control over lead generation.Document everything — Keep written records of announcements, emails, and any new offer letters. This helps if you need to file a claim or negotiate terms.Explore new opportunities — Recruiters with proven track records are in demand; you could transition to a firm that values stability and offers a base salary plus commission.
