Antiwork

Been working for these people since early January, still waiting on my first paycheck

So I got a job with this non-profit that basically outsources film instructors to youths. Once a week, I go to my local youth center and assist kids in producing film/video related stuff. The organization I'm employed by is egregiously disorganized. When I was interviewed, the time and day of the interview changed 4 times before the interview actually happened.

I mentioned that this was a health issue that I didn't think as my place to address. Considering we're working with minors, it makes the situation even more concerning. It's been over a month since I sent that reply. I've heard nothing about it. Guess me not answering “It was great and I love it” didn't make them feel good.

Anyway, I logged my January hours, and sent the logs to the accounting department on Feb. 1. How much longer shoudl I wait for my check before I refuse to do any more work for them?
