Let's say I work for Stock Broker A on a 25% commission. I work 40 hours this week. He is a total scumbag, earns 10K and should pay me $2,500 according to our agreement but he pays me $2,200 and shaves the other $300 off my payout while claiming that was all I was owed.
Now I find out the truth and I'm emotionally angry, so I quit the job and start working for Stock Broker B who agrees to pay double the commission (50%!!!). Stock Broker B is most honest man on Earth. For him I work 46 hours in a week, he makes 2K in sales and pays me $1,000.00 right away
Stock Broker A paid me $2,200/40 = $55.00 per hour
Stock Broker B paid me $1,000/46 = $21.73 per hour
Assuming the work is identical, the commute is identical... everything else is identical....
If you would prefer to work for Stock Broker B you do not understand how math works
