Today's another cold, grey day over here. Been busy around the house, and trying to sort out my life. I ended up sending an email that I was really uncomfortable with, but I think it had to be done, and I hope I did the right thing. My last employers still owe me two months outstanding salary from Feb and March this year and I am sick of waiting. I wrote a very nice polite email, but basically said if I was forced to take legal action I would. I hate these kinds of horrible, messy situations...but I want the money that I worked for, I didn't work for them for my health or because I wanted to take up an extra hobby to fill my time! Now I sort of feel bad about sending the email, but I don't know what else to do at this stage. It's hard because at one stage I was quite close to the one boss, and got on really well with her. Why do I feel bad about standing up for myself and my rights?

ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeletePlease don't feel bad, you did the right thing. I think sometimes good people feel bad when the have to resort to drastic measures. Like you said, you earned it and you absolutely deserve it. I wish you the best and keep your chin up!
Okay...now put your arms out...there, I just gave you a big California hug. Hope you feel better!!
