Hi, all! I’m a 1099 contact worker. I have had direct deposit with this employer for the entire time I have worked there (18 months +). Never had a problem. I changed my direct deposit info at the beginning of December ands haven’t revived a payment since. For reference, this is 3 paychecks. Now the little shut heel is telling me they “cannot run payroll “ because changing my direct deposit info reset my account and they absolutely must have a W4 before paying me. Does this sound legit? They won’t respond to messages.

I know we all have our own paths but… does anyone have a general guide of an alternative way of living step by step tips of how to live work free? Thanks ️

Many years ago, I worked in an aircraft maintenance org. We had recently had a few close calls on the flight line; if we had not been so lucky, people would have died. The subsequent investigation revealed that people were pushing themselves too hard and were exhausted by all the overtime they were doing. The group leader decided to have a meeting about our “CAN DO” attitude and how it was leading us toward a disaster of our own making. So far, so good.

I did approach my other colleague just venting about how I am swamped with work and it’s getting overwhelming. They disclosed that two of our senior team members are leaving soon therefore all their work has shifted to us. Now I am still getting paid the same but doing double the work. My pay is still very low and I barely make ends meet but here I am doing the work of someone who gets paid 2x my salary and working unpaid overtime to finish my work. What should I do? I asked my colleague if she will leave and she feels like she should…

am due in March and told my employer that I am expecting last fall. Unfortunately I was laid off from my job I was at for over a year so I don’t have FMLA protection with my current employer. When I initially met with HR I was told they don’t have any maternity leave policies or benefits which was very discouraging- not to mention I have unlimited PTO and sick time which also can’t be used or applied. The director of HR said he would get back to me on any updates as he wanted to see if anything could be done. It’s been 3 months and they haven’t given my any updates. I’ve asked for information and I’m met with a dead end each time. Mostly I wanted to take some vacation time before my due date to prep and at least have some paid time off while I’m…
