“”I work in the shoe department, which has a quota. We must sell a certain amount per hour, usually between 120-300 dollars an hour. If you do not make that amount you go into ‘Deficit.’ This means you owe money to the company, which means your pay is cut…”
Flatly illegal.

I doubt if that’s true.
When I worked in a shoe store, the goals were tough, I mean really tough.
Each hour, we had to sell 1, 3 or 5 shoes.
Not 1, 3 or 5 pairs of shoes, but 1, 3 or 5 shoes.
Spend most of the day outside the store scooping the mall for one legged folks.
The name of the shoe store was Something is Afoot.
Sounds like union hysteria. I doubt much of this post is real.
It would seem. I am thinking maybe they get paid an hourly rate which is fixed and there is a pro-rated bonus they earn per sale up to the full value if they make the quota and they feel entitled to it so if they don't make the quota they consider it a pay cut. If that is the case I'm not judging them on the 'feel entitled to it' comment, the hourly rate may be very low and they may have been made promises that the company isn't keeping so I'm not making a judgement here.
Agreed. The anonymous guy is lying. In this case, I trust the corporation over some anonymous reddit troll.
