But he doesn't.
He can't go further with other projects since his employer is banned from some of them. We have to keep emailing and reminding them about his salary (mind you, they are super late - a month and more). And when they were able to deposit the entire amount to his account, we have to wait until forever (we're still waiting up to this time) for it to be cleared. It was deposited and credited, it bounced so it was debited. And credited again but it has to be cleared. And we are still WAITING for it to be cleared.
It would have been ok if we don't have bills to pay, but we do. And it has been stifling us for quite some time now. He's got a lot of offers from other companies, but he is way too tied because his company petitioned his immigration papers. If he gets out, we have to wave goodbye to our green card. And start all over again with the other companies. With that, we have to say goodbye too to the endless payments we've already made. Duh.
Well, life is not about just the roses, we have to accept the thorns at most times. Even with what we are going through at this time, I still feel sooo positive. I always look forward to a bright new day, because even if life does offer thorns, it just made us bounce back stronger with more lessons we carry to guide us through. Isnt' that what life is all about?
By the way, here's a letter from one of the project managers (and the only one, if I may say) his lousy employer had and it was really something.
&&*&^%^ is one of the companies that agreed to the SF 2G work. I was relying on your company to perform this work, but if you cannot pay your employees how can %**)(*^ perform this new work? Simple, YOU CAN'T.
Here we go again. Until you get these guys paid, I will be excluding ^*%%^%$ from getting any new scopes of work or opportunities. Your employees shouldn't have to bear the brunt of your financial woes by having their withheld paychecks keep your business afloat. That's just wrong on so many levels. I am keeping a keen eye on this situation, and will not let this continue to happen under the radar any longer. These guys bust their humps for us, and they deserve to be compensated for their hard work and not have to beg for their supper.
^%^***^&^&% is now a company based on actions, not words. The days of handshake deals and under the table business practices are over, and the days of actions are here to stay. You are dealing with a whole new beast now, and you don't have any more allies here except for me. I believe in your workforce, and that's why I renewed your MSA. Don't make me regret it. You are at risk of losing out on some unprecedented opportunities. That's not an idle threat, it's a fact. No well-crafted reply is necessary. I already read the last one, and I wasn't moved or impressed. I'm not interested in your excuses any longer. GET THESE GUYS PAID.
I hope they get the message.
