My paycheck did not deposit. My employer has asked for an additional week to pay me for this week in addition to next weeks wages. He also informed me he will pay me an additional weeks pay if I will stay on. My first phone calls were to the other plumbers at the shop. They didn't get paid either. They intend to sit it out and see what happens. This is their first time dealing with a negligent employer. I know better. The owner of the shop showed up to work this past Monday with another quad cab GMC Sierra Denali, a 90k truck.

My next two phone calls were to the general contractors I am to meet this morning to go over change orders and arrange heavy equipment for excavating, and inform them I am no longer in my current job and they will need to call the (former) office to get it sorted. I do not replace pipes that transfer shit and other human waste for funsies.

Looks like it's a three day weekend instead. Time to get my posting numbers up. Monday I'll be calling other plumbers to see if there's a spot available elsewhere.

Already filed a DOL complaint, have screenshots of all texts sent and received concerning my rubber check. The company is an LLC, so I'm not sure what that entails as far as the owners actual risks, but I'm gonna get my fucking money.
