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

I'd really prefer it if you would answer my question directly.
If you had a job in the real word that shaved hours off your paycheck, you wouldn't care as long as you were still making more than other companies pay?
I fully understand your mindset in bending over and taking it if there are no options for equal pay, but you can't just write this stuff off entirely or they will take more and more.
