Name and shame. But before that I’d invoice them and follow up for two weeks. If they don’t respond kindly tell them you’re sharing with your network that they’re untrustworthy. I hope you get paid for your time and effort though.

Is there a email chain ?

There is an email chain where I’m asked if I’m okay with being a 1099 and a conversation where I’m told I’ll be Venmo’d the amount we agreed on

Did you sign a contract? You shouldn't start any work without one.

if it's in an email, you got a paper trail. I'd take it to a lawyer, or at least tell them that you are until they pay up.

Of course I hope you get paid, but I really want to know who these b*tches are: even trying to pull a fast one is reason enough to call them out

Who was it?

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls.
