what is up with pirelli??

did anyone receive and e-mail requesting them to go online and fill out a 1099?

i thinks it funny that they are on top of that but out of the 835.00 they owe me i have only received 210.00 and now they want me to spend my time to fill out a 1099.

why don't they spend there time and send them out. it's not enough i/we have spent thousands on there product.

i just feel this is a real slap in the face.

i have sent e-mail after e-mail trying to get my payouts. :down:

 

It is a slap inthe face that they are following the law? Those bastards.

 

Clearly their accounting department has more on the ball than accounts payable. Not really that surprising. That doesn't make it suck any less that you're still waiting on cash. I sure as hell wouldn't accept a 1099 for the total amount you're owed if you haven't been paid in full yet.

 

Why should you have to fill out a 1099? They arent paying us, were just getting a discount on tires.

 

no. but.. typically under 500.00 its not even recognized. second i wouldn't have a problem with it if they paid me what i was owed.

do you have any other smart ass remarks!

 

that is what i am getting at. i/we spend thousands a year on tires wether pirelli or another brand. those contingencies should be a thanks for using our product deal. not applying it to your income. hey, maybe i am just misunderstanding the entire deal here.



someone educate me.

 

well,, before it was more of a discount when they emailed you an amount and pin number..... now that they use pre-paid AM-EX cards, i dont think they can get around it....

not sure how this is gonna affect me, at the start of the season they told me not to worry about it... we'll see.....

 

they are claiming it as an expense paid out..... im sure its not a wise business practice to pay out $500,000 a year (or whatever it is) and try explaining where the money went when there is no paper trail to it.

 

well, if i were a business man and i could spend say 500k and in a year know that i could triple that number by doing so.................

that's a good business decision.

every pirelli sticker on every bike is marketing, and advertisement.

you gotta spend it to make it!

dunlops here i come!

 

To answer the first question....yes


I am sure they will be heartbroken by your departure.

 

You'll get a 1099 from Dunlop next year.

 

Yeah but he will be putting to the man.:up:

 

Fixed.

 

YEAH! F@ck the MAN!!!

 

reading comprehension comes tough, huh?

if i get the payout i wouldn't mind, the point is i have never received the payout.

i'll pay on the 210.00. but i would rather pay on the amount that i am owed, and received

does that make sense to you?

 

Easy dude, I know what you meant. I was just saying that you'll still get a 1099 for whatever you're payed. As I said in my original response, I would not accept a 1099 unless you've recieved ALL the money you're owed.

 

I am sure he read the first post here and comprehended that fine. So which is it. You shouldn't have to claim it or you will gladly pay it?

 

sorry bout' that. had a tough day and this little tid bit put me over the edge.

 

i will pay what is owed when i receive what is owed.:up:

has anyone else received the e-mail?
