Sinsull, if you work on straight commission, that's practically the same as being self-employed. Or, you're more like a partner than an employee. I'd say you have a right to set your own working conditions. Sure if the computer belongs to your employer, he technically has the right to take it away from you, but he'd be shooting himself in the foot if he did that. And if he has any intelligence, he knows it. It sounds like he doesn't have much respect for YOUR intelligence if he expects you to take his complaints seriously. I say you're right to ignore him.
