Week 4 - Don't bend over backwards for Kay!

Apr 07, 2014 17:36

I know that I'm really, really lucky in a lot of ways. My husband makes enough that I don't need to work to help the two of us make ends meet, and he's really been very generous with his income in all the years we've been together.

I'm not saying I don't get pretty bored not working, though (there are only so many seasons of Portlandia on Netflix ( Read more... )

I hear about people getting screwed out of a final paycheck more than you'd think, although mostly it's my friends working in places like record shops and bookstores. Either way, I kinda wish I knew what went so wrong for Kay so that if I ever open a business, I could avoid that happening to me! Thanks for reading!

How very annoying! :( I'm glad you had the option to quit. I'm sorry you had this experience :(

I figured that if I hadn't quit, she would have had to fire me pretty soon after anyway. And what kind of an idiot would I have been continuing to work with no paychecks to show for it, right? :)

All in all I didn't write this for sympathy or anything, it's really just a harmless weird / funny story to me now and I know I am STILL lucky for having the luxury to quit from a job even one where I was probably never going to get paid again :) :)

Thank you for reading!

That's absolutely no way to treat an employee and certainly no way to run a business. very good for you that you took it for only as long as you needed to find out what you needed to know. You may have bent that back, but you did not let it break.

My story with my brief employer is nothing compared to yours this week! Thank you for reading!

Wow, what an irritating situation to be in! I'm glad you were able to quit and get out of there.

Me too. Thank you for reading this week!

Even if I ended up marrying a guy who makes good money, I think I'd be SO BORED if I didn't do SOME TYPE of work . . .

Sometimes I am, but I guess I have a lot of hobbies? I am looking forward to finding a good fit again though for sure. Thanks for reading!
