I am Hd of sales for a small firm that doubled in size in the last year. 6 months ago my boss asked me to help him develop a key relationship with a leading provider of a complimentary service. After pursuing this we are now about to announce a huge partnership. My problem is that instead of getting paid the10% on the sales that will come out of this new relationship (my standard commission), my boss told me that he wouldn't be able to "afford" to pay my share, but he could only pay 1% on those sales. It seemed fine because in this same conversation (3 mos ago), he agreed he would give me equity (which I had been asking for, for the past year). This seemed like a win-win, but just as he finalized the contract (with my help!) with the other group, I asked for my equity in writing & he said it was now off the table! I feel hoodwinked as we have a finite prostpect list. He has always been ethical until now. He has subtely implied that I make enough money. What do I do?
