Feasibility of a Class Action Lawsuit Regarding Commission Disqualification and Internal Tool Failures

s there any legal precedent or viability for exploring a class action lawsuit against Dell regarding systemic failures in internal tools (such as ODW) that prevent sales representatives from accurately tracking bookings and quota performance?

When employees are unable to monitor their metrics due to inadequate infrastructure, it directly threatens their ability to meet the 60% threshold required to earn commissions. Meanwhile, leadership continues to receive substantial executive compensation and stock grants while front-line employees absorb the financial impact of these operational failures, directly affecting their livelihoods and ability to provide for their families.

Has anyone consulted with legal counsel regarding this, or is anyone aware of previous actions taken over commission withholding caused by broken internal tracking systems?

A lot of you obviously never read the employment contract you signed when hired

@c9 this is the narrative they want you to believe. A hostile contract is still subject to scrutiny and review under the eyes of the law. It’s entirely possible to challenge them and win, but it all depends on your lawyer and what kind of evidence can be provided.

Your employment contract let's them do whatever they want. They can pay you the federal minimum wage if they wanted to. The comp structure is just the sandbox they get to play with to keep you on your toes.

I know it's frustrating but this is just the hand we're dealt

Need to do some research. There was a landmark case against Oracle for $150 million brought by staff citing retroactive cuts to commission tiers that depressed their earned wages. IBM has similarly faced notable class-action investigations from sales reps regarding the modification of commission structures.
Providing no visibility immediately after changing the comp structure could fall into an eligible category.

Class action gets more attention and punishes the company, but doesn’t help the employee much.
