So what exactly is your problem? That other salesmen were getting paid more than you? You say Circuit City gave them a sweet deal but all they really did was screw new hires. The original salesmen continued getting paid what they were getting paid under the commission scale. You happened to come in during the flat pay scale. They didn't get a sweet deal, you just got screwed. You should've been making hourly plus commission. Don't blame the salesmen, blame Circuit City for lowering their wages.
If you want a pay scale based on merit, return it to commission. Then the people who actually move product will make the most money. What Circuit City just did pushes down everyone's wages.
