Don't listen to the people here telling you to just "move on". You worked for half a year without salary; they don't get to screw you and get away with it. There is no "high road" that benefits exclusively them.
Get a lawyer now, do not sign anything, do not pass Go. Upvoted advice in the other thread applies. The card you hold is the threat of a lawsuit, which happens to be justified.
To be clear: you're still an idiot. They're jerks. Let this be a watershed moment for you.
- Throwaway23412 11y ago>more than half a year without salary Pretty sure a lawyer would be salivating to take this case.
- kzhahou 11y agoWhy? Someone agrees to no salary, what claim do they then have?
- beagle3 11y agoAt the very least, there are hourly minimum wage laws that you cannot agree to forfeit.
- boulos 11y agoLest someone think this is incorrect, California anyway has "you must pay overtime exempt workers at least 2x minimum wage" (or they can sue). Start at the overtime page: http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/faq_overtime.htm http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/faq_overtime.htm and follow through on exemptions. Source: have known founders who had to sign waivers agreeing not to sue.
- andy_ppp 11y agoYeah what is a judge going to say? "You deserve nothing" or "I'm pro-rata-ing your stake in the company, reducing it by two week worth". I hope you haven't signed anything...
