Explanation:
nu își mai dau interesul(peste un anumit nivel)/nu mai manifestă interes (peste un anumit nivel) /stagnează/rămân la același nivel/nu progresează/nu înaintează/rămân în urmă

atunci când ajung la un anumit comision

http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/slough off
slough off something
to ignore something or behave as if it was unimportant.

desi definitia este data pt substantiv (stagnant) cred ca se poate aplica si la verb
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/slough
A stagnant swamp, marsh, bog, or pond, especially as part of a bayou, inlet, or backwater.

Eu așa ințeleg-pt ei nu este f important sa progreseze la alt nivel, nu depun același efort ca și colegii lor de vârf, atunci când ajung la un nivel confortabil (dpdv al comisionului primit)

In acest context cred ca subliniaza doar faptul ca peste un anumit nivel acesti angajati nu isi dau prea mult interes. De ex. daca au o norma lunara sau sapt. de telefoane isi fac norma si pe urma o iau mai usor
