Dear work: Where the frig’s my cheque THIS time? For the last three pay periods you have lost or been late with my cheque. Seriously? I work my butt off for you and have saved your bacon with clients numerous times, all that is required of you is that my paycheque gets to me before the end of banking day on payday. Is this so hard? Corporate head office, you WILL be getting a nasty phone call Monday (which I will have to pay for, ironically). If I don’t have my money by end of day Monday I’ll be having a chat with the Labour Board, the BBB and perhaps The Coast as well… That alone should have you shaking in your boots! —Perpetually Tired of Waiting for My Due

  1. Graham Pissworth is already working on an absolutely Hitlarious cartoon comparing your place of employ to Nazi Germany. Will you be happy with a “Peace in our Time” compromise or full unconditional surrender?

  2. You have a “corporate head office”, but your company doesn’t have the technology to apply a direct deposit payroll? This isn’t the first time this has happened? Fuck that, I’d say this hackjob of a “corporation” is on it’s way into bankruptcy, time to move on.

  3. If you’re one of those people that “doesn’t do direct deposit” and insists on having a paper pay cheque, your bitch is invalid. Hope that’s not the case.

  4. Direct deposit is the WTG! (heh, heh another acronym, I’m getting hipper all the time).

  5. Some employers don’t do direct deposit.

    When I was working for a temp agency, they didn’t do direct deposit. And if you’re casual or term with the feds, they won’t pay you through direct deposit, either. Cheque is it.

  6. OP, check with the labour board or a lawyer. IIRC, something like this could qualify as a breech of employment contract by your employer. Which might mean that you have the option of quitting while demanding 2 weeks notice and severance pay.

  7. there seems to be a lot of that lately. maybe technology is finally breaking down, and we are on the edge of anarchy. either that, or someone abscounded with the payroll and company is trying to save face here. or it might be a recycled bitch, from awhile back, with a new tag on it?
