Sorry, better clarifying hopefully.

I work in marketing. The agency is struggling. So an hour cap means I can only earn $14k per year less than my full-time salary should be.

I was also supposed to resume earning more  commissions 8 months ago. Instead, they went away entirely. Another $24-$36k per year I should be making 

I live in a relativly low cost of living area, but a $14k per year pay cut hurts, especially when I should be making more than my salary, not less.

It's all very convoluted, and confusing. Plus, nobody likes a complainer. But yes, I'm in the 3+ kids category, with a mortgage, small car payment, etc.

Perhaps I should have done percentage instead of dollars. Too late now without doxing my pay.

Thanks for taking an interest. I try not to complain. 

 it's okay, that sounds rough especially with +3 kids

wish i could offer you help, a better job but i dont have anything other than my empathy to offer

best luck in finding something better of your company to prosper harder next year
