Very sad way to treat someone that is working for you.

I understand your opinion. But, I would just point out that the listing contract is prepared by the broker, not by the seller. Their contract says the seller agrees to pay a specified commission on a full price offer. So, the seller has not agreed to pay a full commission on a reduced price offer unless it is stated otherwise. If that is what they expect, then they should rewrite the contract. I can assure you that, if you fail to adhere to any part of the listing contract, they will enforce it against you.
