I'm currently working for a startup that has been unable to pay us for 2ish months while they are trying to secure investor funding. They said they will back pay us and (we're working much fewer hours) and they were reaching into their personal savings for months before and never took a salary. We have patients enrolled so we agreed to help for a few weeks but not for this long. I don't want to burn bridges and I am currently interviewing elsewhere but any recommendations??

I would look for work elsewhere. Who wants to work and then wonder when they’re getting paid ? Also they say they aren’t getting paid but that’s not your problem its their business.

You can't work for free for months. I understand wanting o stick around and help but this it is irrational for them to believe people will keep working for long without pay.

You can't lose back pay. Those are hours you worked and they have to pay you regardless of how hard you put your foot down.

Thanks everyone!! I absolutely agree, it's a ridiculous situation and I'm certainly looking elsewhere. I have been networking heavily over the last month or so and I am currently interviewing. Sorry for not being specific, I am looking to stop working but without another offer, I am unsure of how to put my foot down without losing my back pay. Any thoughts there?

You need to leave and report this to the department of labor. They will most likely refute that they owe you if things are really bad or they can file CH.11 to wipe out liabilities. If they have it listed as a accrued payroll it might be owed but you have to challenge asap.

My eyes seriously went 😳. If you quit you actually will be able to collect unemployment just an FYI! I quit and collected unemployment if you need reassurance or help. When I quit, I honestly said to myself “I need to be selfish right now,” and did not think about the company. I submitted my resignation letter (where I stated laws and HR procedures the company broke) and it helped. Look into curable, they’re a cool tech x healthcare company who may be hiring.

Isn’t that the truth

Were they forthcoming about withholding your pay until they got some funding? If not, super shady…

They were very transparent and open, and said we aren't obligated to work during this time. The issue is the funding is just taking much longer than expected

You’re a brave soul

Anyone have situational depression? Can’t stop beating myself up over a decision a year ago. Basically missed out on a massive amount of money. I know this seems trite and i never even cared thatt much about money before this year.

So many other good things happened to me this year - got married, got a puppy, moved etc, and yet the one thing i keep returning to is this decision as though i ruined my life. Ironically the only thing ruining my life is my outlook and yet i just can’t stop.

I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.
