“We want someone who isn’t just here for a paycheck”. Why the fuck else would I be here?

Update: after a week of my check not arriving, my ex employer is issuing me a check and he’s trying to charge me a $55 stop payment fee for my last check. I am livid, this was my reply.

No, you are right in between these things and ensure that those two completely different worlds work together in a streamlined way.
