I agree with the rest of your comment, but not the implication of this sentence. Riding out not getting payed is extremely risky with very low to no reward. Those that could ride it out are much better off quitting and making use of their time for interviewing - or anything but working for free.
- anon291 4y agoYeah, I have years worth of runway and could probably retire if I wanted to live a more frugal lifestyle, but I don't work if I'm not getting paid period.
- icedchai 4y agoYep. I didn't get paid for a month once and road it out. I did get paid eventually, but in retrospect, I should've just left. There were bigger troubles down the line.
- JohnFen 4y agoThis. A company being unable to make payroll, even only one time, is a pretty huge flashing warning light that the company is very close to the edge of a cliff.
