Boss assured me a bonus when I signed on and now doesn't wanna pay it
I work for a very small, very small company in the financial services. When I was hired on, I was promised a bonus and some commission.
He had some crazy formula and wouldn't give me anything in writing because he's an attorney. I took the job because I was desperate.
Well, he just stopped paying me bonuses and didn't communicate to me that he was going to stop. When I nicely called him out on it he gave me some excuse said he needed to think about it. Then I brought it up again and he gave me the same excuse.
Mind you our company is down to two people and he gave me his word. I know the solution that this is get a new job I get it but it's really hard to get a job right now and I don't have anything lined up. I need to keep this until I find something else.
What would you do in this situation? I keep bringing it up and he keeps giving me excuses. It's just really shitty. Shitty.
