I accepted a job offer to work in Korea. They are a huge conglomerate in textiles. (For context of how rich they are)
Long story short, they had paid for my basic relocation last time, but then my brother died, and I had to fly back to the US to take care of his matters.
Now that I’m back, I’m paying everything myself. That’s fine and I accept that.
However, after the funeral and all related expenses, I am left with 20$.
I am currently relying on the pay-check, which will arrive on the last working day of every month (31st), so I can pay my bills and pretty much SURVIVE (food, water, place to stay).
I have 20$ to get through next week, so I called the company and asked them if I can get an advance.
They politely told me to go fuck myself, and that the pay will be in strictly on 31st.
I told them I cant make it to work without this advance, I need it for a place to stay, food and all. Their response is that “nothing we can do”.
I don’t want to borrow from friends/family, because this is a job problem, not an emergency.
Do you think I should tell the boss who hired me and tell him that I need it, otherwise I quit?
A flight back home would literally solve all the problems.
Please give me your thoughts, thanks!
