So I'm confused and tell him that my hours are wrong. I should be paid for 7.5- 8 hours and not 7 a day. He comes back to me by text and tells me I'm paid a DAY rate.

Why is he acting like this I'm so confused? If he got the amount wrong before I started working, why can't he be honest with me? Why is he gaslighting me and playing mind games ?
