Having severe panic. After a one week temp role in the local government, they have not paid me. When I contacted them they repeatedly ignored my email. Fast forward 6 weeks and I still haven't been paid. I contacted the EEOC and escalated my complaint to the director of HR and keep giving me the run around. This is the 4th time I haven't been paid by a job and usually I file a wage claim but the wage claim is not available for gov jobs. What should I do?

Call a lawyer

It would cost more than it's worth. My pay total pay was maybe around $500? And when I did talk to a lawyer they said I had no basis. I think I do but I wish lawyers would be honest and say they don't want to take your case.

Not being paid by 4 different jobs? Tere's only one common denominator here...YOU!!! Something doesn't pass the smell test. Hmmm.....

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
