Well, things have been going, not so well, for me lately. Mainly because of my job. Don't get me wrong, the concept of my job is great. Working in an all Toyota Off Road Shop has its perks, when you own 2 Toyota offroad trucks. However the company itself has been struggling the last few months. Even worse than I was led to believe. I had a paycheck bounce, but then it cleared so I thought all was OK, especially since my bosses said the company was fine. However this past Friday my boss sat me down as I was walking out the door, to tell me to not cash my paycheck because it would not clear. Friggin Awesome.
Then this morning (ya, I still came in, not sure why), they had a staff meeting to tell us how bad off they are. Would have been nice to know BEFORE they couldn't pay any of us, huh?
Soooo now I don't know when that paycheck will be good, the next one coming up obviously won't be any good either considering they can't even pay THIS one....
And they are "sorry" and are greatful for our understanding. Like I have a choice? Soooo Not only that, they tell us they might be calling us some mornings to tell us not to come in because there is no work for us.
Yet last week they got PISSED at me for not coming in for 2 days (that they couldn't pay me for ANYways) when my truck blew up and I had no way to get in.
Soooo I am looking for a job, unfortunately, and am going to have to use one of those "cash your check here for a fee" places just to get my money because my bank will just bounce their check. And I have my own bills to worry about. Their shitty business problems are none of my business and NONE of my problem because obbviously my life was of no importance to them either.
BLEH. other than that I had a decent weekend, cleaned out my truck, Darryl took me to breakfast and tried to relax with the impending doom of my job and finances because of it.

Hello Una. Sorry for your circumstances. You are in my prayers. Hopefully a new and better job will come up soon. Hang in there and don't let it bring you down.
Love, Mom.
call your state labor board right away... get a pamphlet from the post office that shows the rules and penalties for non-payment of due wages.
if the board finds them liable, they will be fined 10k and have to pay you DOUBLE what they owe you... sometimes handing the employer the pamphlet and letting them now that is your next step is enough to get them to pay you right away.
good luck...
Did they ever pay you?
