golfing

So I gotta talk to one of the company owners, who does the payroll, about how I worked like 30 hours in July and didn’t get a paycheck for any of it. (I went in and found my records in the clock in/out system so I can verify it was 30.45 hrs exactly.) (he also has access to this system!) (I guess he did not notice when he pulled the reports, that I was there, that I had worked, despite it having been discussed with him. I dunno!)

I called and the number to their location only works intermittently, took me about an hour of occasional redialing to get through. But I got through, and talked to the guy in the shipping department.

I asked about the co-owner. “Ah, nah,” he said, “he’s not in, it’s a golf day.”

I tell you what, that makes a girl feel cherished. (Can I leave him a message? Eh prolly he won’t get it though so nah just call back maybe tomorrow.)

I will never actually receive any money again in my life. I’m just. Going to lie here for a while. It doesn’t matter that I’m on the clock.

If you’re bad enough at advocating for yourself, every position can be a volunteer position!

I feel like you are advocating for yourself really well though? Especially in the face of a fucking boss that's too busy golfing to pay his employees, good lord.

I quit doing freelance editing and translations because I was not getting paid more often than I was. This after solid agreements before doing the work and invoicing them afterwards. I got a call last week from someone offering me a project saying they had been referred by the last person who never paid me. I almost fell off my chair laughing and told them about their colleague. I've got nothing to lose! Asked them to send me an offer in writing and I might consider it. I haven't heard anything.

No wonder I get depressed about writing.
