This is either the best thing ever....or the worst prank.

[Jester]

Dude, don't know what you're talking about. I won't be anywhere near the place. And you can quote me on that.

[BroSCFischer]

Best part? This is in Florida, and I know there's a nice rum place we can head afterwards.

Afterwards?!?! You mean Jester isn't going to be in on the action? And wouldn't you want to be partaking before hand, so you have the "I was drunk, and didn't know what I was doing" diminished capacity defense?

Seraph, would you mind sharing him? I love me some Dean...

Also, I'm really sorry that you had to go through all of this Hopefully things get better for you soon.

[Crossbow]

As I said, Jay... I'm driving. When should I pick you up?

I hate seeing companies do this, large or small. It disgust me to no end. I'm so sorry you had to go through this, Seraph.

[Seraph]

...I'd be fine if Dean decided to just come over here and not Florida... <_<

[Jay 2K Winger]

Pardon me, I have to take a trip to Florida.

Purpose of visit?



Business.

So so sorry to hear it all, Seraph. You're the last person this should happen to. Granted, it shouldn't happen to anyone, but not you.

[Seraph]

Aaaaand, we're done.

I found out today that they told one of the employees pushing to get paid that "We don't know when, or IF, we are going to pay everyone the back checks."

As soon as I heard that, I called around various attorneys until I located one who dealt in employment law and would give me a free consult.

Since they "only" owe me $4100, it's not worth the fight. First major roadblock, we probably would have to pursue them in Florida court, since that's where they reported earnings. I live a loooong ways away. Then I'd have to pierce the corporate veil, get all three owners on the hook for this, prove malicious intent, show all my documents, and then hope for a judgement against them. It'd be heavy chances in my favor, but even still. I would only get a judgement, not money in my pocket.

I'd then have to spend time and effort enforcing the judgement. I could try to be allowed to file a lien, and I could even try for wage garnishment. The former would be tough, and the latter would be really really difficult to get, since they're not earning anything right now.

So I'd basically go through heck, over $4,000. The attorney was very nice, but said that it wasn't really worth all the time and effort I'd be putting in...and could be putting in towards bringing in more business/applying for jobs.

I'm done then, I guess. I just posted it onto my business' accounting software as a loss. Maybe it'll help on taxes. I hope.

Hey, Spider, you have a bowel disruptor I can borrow?

(Linked because probable nudity, even if it's blocked by shadow. I guess NSFW.)

[RootedPhoenix]

*hugs!*

I'm so upset that they did this to you.

[wolfie]

Yeah, the check's in the mail. Fuckers.

I hope that takes the form of a guy from Prague wearing a hauberk and getting ready to "go medieval" and give them a taste of "Partisan" politics.

[Mytical]

Well dang Seraph. I am just seeing this. I am sorry things turned out this way. You need to talk or rant..you know how to get a hold of me. *hugs*

Late arrival to this.. mess.

I have no words beyond this really stinks, sucks, blows, bites, barfs, and any other expletive I can think of all at the same time.

Best of luck to you.

[Eevie]

Oh Seraph... I just came back and saw this, I'm so sorry. Damn....
