After reading all your comments, it reinforced my belief that I shoud be more assertive and speak out sooner. I waited until 2 hours into the signing to directly let them and the hiring party know that I had to leave- lesson learned! This will never happen to me again. The hubby stated that he hoped I was paid by the hour, indicating that they envisioned this signing taking a few hours. I sent my invoice for the full fee- I will take the wasted time as a learning experience!
thanks for your support and tips! I will be prepared if it ever happens again |
