I get the joy of calling the company that I was working for a month ago.... and begging for a check. Isn't that nice.... Hopefully it will be in the mail.
It's my malady to not like the confrontation. It doesn't make sense that after working my ass off for weeks, I have to go back now and beg for a check....
it already has me very angry.....

Was this a freelance job?
We get paid within 30-90 days, and never even bother to follow up anymore. Just accept that some clients are a-holes or have complicated accounting.
They were like "oh we will just pay you as employees" then wanted to treat us like we were contract.
Nice, they wanted the best of both worlds. But now instead of paying us with the payroll, apparently I have to bust their asses.
but I would have had the invoice in, 30 days ago.
They are probably going out of business, and I'll have to take it to court.
I've never seen "complicated accounting". I've only seen "Lazy accounting"
:) Well, if let's say there's a branch client in London, UK and the other in Toronto, Canada, but invoices are processed in New York, USA, a lot of communication has to happen. So it's sort of complicated (and bureaucratic.)
That's too bad about the company, I hope you get paid. Did they look on the verge of bk when you did the job?
I suffer "The Worries", I'm probably blowing this up into something that is nothing.
They seemed massively incompetent(but i'm an asshole, that is how I feel about everyone).
they hated that I was the only one who knew what he was doing, and I kept telling them that I had no confidence in the engineering, or that it had passed engineering. Which it hadn't.
and I couldn't drag the job on for 3 months... I'm sure they are still doing it, or redoing it, or whatever.
and that is how you go out of business.
the worst part is I have to put on that "happy face" and say stuff like.
"for some reason I just haven't received a check yet."
and when they blow me off, I have to be persistent, and yet still nice.
We had one client who took 18 months to pay.
It was actually pretty funny at the time, couldn't believe he was still paying. Just in small chunks.

I hope we gap down tomorrow, I want to cover SPY.
