Commissioned sales people know they will always make more money than their salaried counterparts, if they are good.

Our director of Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities has worked out a way to get a piece of the pie.

Sell insurance! Get the city to do the printing and the mailing. Get an out-of-state outfit to do the fancy stuff. Keep your regular job with pension and time off and all. And mail it to all the customers of the utility like it is mandatory, even though you say it is not. Use official letterhead and all. What a scam.
