Thank you Roger for helping those in need, but really
I hope you have learned your lesson to STOP WORKING for lowballing, 2 star rated companies!
For those who have missed the daily posts, don't work for them (lowballing, low rated, thieving, conniving, cheating companies) and
1) You won't be one of the the fools (def = "somebody considered to lack good sense or judgment") having to beg for your meager penance!
2) Maybe their business will go to a FAIR paying, reputable company.
3) This industry may not fold by the wayside because of the incompetent fools (see above definition-oh gosh, that's such a derogatory word...sorry in advance) that are desperate enough to HAVE to accept lowballing fees, and that don't know WTH they're doing.
4) You might be able to build a viable business instead of doing charity work...I could go on and on...
I've done my share of being a fool, so I don't say that with any kind of self righteousness or better than attitude! But there have been times when I have lacked good sense and judgment. I've worked for the lowballing, low rated, thieving, conniving, cheating companies. So I say it with the utmost humility-I'm still owed money!!
I've taken them off the cuff without checking them out here and had to accept the consequences that you all are facing...worse yet, not being paid at all.
But the great thing about this site is that we all can learn from each other. Take everyone's experience and warnings.
You'll want to give them the benefit of the doubt (as many of us have, especially with their begging, pleading and lying- the wolves in sheep's clothing is what they are...don't be fooled...lol..."Oh, we were going through a bad time, but we're coming back now", "it wasn't our fault, they didn't pay us", "oh please do me this one favor"...blah, blah, blah, blah, blah)
I thank you again Roger for coming on, sharing your experience and posting the final result of getting your pay.
This is not meant to call Roger or anyone else out. I admire him and am happy he got his due. And quite frankly, I would encourage those that have had the same experience to come on and share it (eat crow...lol) to let us know, that those before us were RIGHT...no one is any different (as much as we say, "ah, I'll give them the chance, they'll pay me". "Awe, he's so nice, I feel bad for him"-meanwhile they're laughing all the way to the bank).
These companies do not get low ratings for one, two or three bad experiences! It takes MULTIPLE and please note they are across the country, not just one area.
Oh yes!!! I am a broken frkn record! What can I say? The above is certainly only my very humble(REALLY???) opinion. I'm sure many on here agree.
Good luck to everyone and I hope the best case scenario always prevails!!!
