I am posting this to warn Freelancers not to work at Real Chemistry, I freelanced for them for 3 months and they have not paid me. I did an excellect job for them, they kept bringing me back for more and more work. Once i stopped working for them and accepted a full-time position somewhere else, they stopped paying me and will not return my emails. I feel that it is my duty to warn others.
It is a shame, because i think there are smart people there.

Isn’t that illegal? Don’t you have recourse? Is real chemistry the same as 21grams, as I am about to interview there.

@CD1 yes, 21 Grams is Real Chemistry.

I had this happen once with a Dentsu agency. The people I worked with were great and I count them as friends and colleagues to this day. The snafu was that the person who was supposed to be handling it was too busy interviewing for a new job and then taking it to get me paid. Now HER I will never work with again. Ultimately, my peeps got me connected to the right folks and I got my money.

What state are you in? Many states have now implemented the Freelance Isn’t Free Act like the one in NY.

You can file a complaint with the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, then let them know they’re being investigated. This should make them step up.

Thank you for this PSA. Hopefully a strongly worded letter from a lawyer does the trick.

God, that’s awful! No one should have to chase down payment for work they’ve already done. Thanks for the heads-up. Have you looked into legal options or freelancer advocacy groups? Sometimes a strongly worded letter from a lawyer or public pressure can help. Hope you get what you’re owed!

I had this happen with BMKD Digital.

Show up in person.

I’d like to speak to the manager @ them!!!

Call them out on LinkedIn publicly every day until your check clears. Creatives must fight for money we have earned. I don’t fuck around when it comes to money. Get a lawyer, even if it cuts into your money a little, some payment is better than nothing.

Contact the Freelancers Union. This happened to me with a client and I had to take them to small claims court

Thank you for the advice
