FROM what I can understand...the plan was changed because maybe it was working TOO well for the sales force ( even though the company profits were through the roof as well)...several were making 1 million plus per year ..which they had worked very hard for ...and they were at a meeting and the CHANGE was announced...this cut some of their earnings to less than half...NO ONE was grandfathered into the new plan...they all had to requailfy again ( which some no matter how hard they tried were unable to do)..my friend told me that this was when people started throwing their hands up and the masses started to leave, because they felt the company had became greedy and were looking out for their own interests only...this is the reason that they are concerned because since they were treated this way when it was a privately held company, how quickly could the tide change since there will now be stockholders to answer to? and as we can see the sales force has not been able to reach the recruiting and sales volume again since people began to leave..
