To be frank...
I just want the 40% I earned while I wasted my fingers, wrist, eyesight, back family time and free time... that I invested in getting there at almost triple diamond.
We had a contract and a set of rules which were changed mid-race in order to simply wipe the slate clean and post higher revenues. It is simply the ugliest thing any company or boss has done to me personally and why I simply have lost what made me love iStock in the first place, trust.
They can still backtrack and make it all back from today forward but I can't fathom that fairness is something they put in the equation now or in the future.
If iStock does 40% to us diamonds as we were privy before, we still have the lowering of revenues due to large competition. It does however only punish from a predictable side and not from the part of the equation that should be your agent and look after your revenue/work.
I know that many at iStock had no clue or wanted to do this so I am not generalizing on the good people there. They were handed a rotten egg basket and they had to color them nicely as much as they could to make the poison pill easier to swallow. They can still turn back the clock and re-earn their place of trust.
Very well put. Exactly the same here. I want the 40% I was promised to be "grandfathered" in to. Separating "canister" from "royalty level" was never part of the deal as far as I was concerned.
not harsh at all. exactly the way I feel, too. Although once that trust is lost, as it is now, it will be much, much harder for them to earn it back. Even "turning back the clock" won't automatically re-earn that trust - they've done too much to wipe the trust out. Trust is not given, it has to be earned.
