An Unrequited Contract

Today I went to sign my contract with Maybank as a Cards Sales Executive. So I reached there at 8.45pm as told. I was then given a set of rules and regulations and my contract to read by the same HR girl who escorted me. It was like a lot of things to read. Actually, I got a lot of things to ask her, no, not her phone number or whether she is single or not, or what she likes in a guy but rather how many off days and the pay is calculated. I actually forgot to ask these important questions in the first interview.

After the HR girl told me the pay and how the commissions are calculated, I was stumped... Stumped because the commission structure is pretty unique, very special, never heard before of. I thought the commissions is calculated based on my understanding but its otherwise. I would have accepted the job and sign the contract on the spot, if not because of the commission structure that is the only stumbling block. I think its my fault because I should have asked her about the job details on my first visit. I am sorry that I have given her false hope that I would sign the contract today. I told her I need to consider the contract and will get back to her tomorrow due to the miscommunication in pay structure.

I am sorry that I had left her with a broken heart and an unsigned contract.....
