Dumb people part 2

I suppose I shouldn't be name calling, but I am in a mood...and darn it, right now I am just upset.

Dummy #2:a company my husband has done contract labor for.

He was contacted back in October to do a job at a Dollar Store. It could only be before they opened or after they closed. Both times are REALLY inconvinent, but hey...it's money. He did the job..people happy. Next day they called again and said they wanted him to do another job. This was same scenerio. Job done...people happy. They assured him that all he needed to do was fax in the completed job sheet signed by the managers, and the check would come within 60 days. Ugh, but okay.

He did this... Fast forward to December. Hey, we want you to do another job, but this one is out of town!! Will this be okay for you? It's only at before opening time. Well, not really, but when am I going to be paid for those other 2 jobs? We will check into that....

Then they call back and say, would you please do the job? You can do it at night. We liked the job you did already, and if you need night, we can make you happy. Oh, and the other two jobs needed invoices sent in, but if you can agree to do this job, I will take care of it for you...No invoice needed.

We agreed to do it, sent mail to man who said we would be paid for all 3 jobs within a week asking for an email that stated this, did the job, checked email next day for confirmation. It wasnt there....surprise surprise. Sent another mail asking that he give us his word in writing. (I am a skeptical kind of gal....I have feelings about these things) He sent it, and we waited happily at the mail box for a check.

No check....2 weeks later is here, and I call accounting. Where is my husbands check (I am the secretary of our home business...I can do this) Was told that....we need invoices. I told them NO THEY DID NOT, and that I was ASSURED that we would be paid in the next check run. Well, why did he tell you that???? He isn't in accounting?? I tell her, I don't know why he thought he could say that, but he did. And suggested they talk to him about it directly. They tell me that we should have sent invoices in the beginning.

They switched systems at the beginning of the year. The old invoices only said to fax in sheet, which we did. The new sheets said invoice....but since we had talked to the guy, he told us not to bother with any of it, remember? He would take care of it. Much arguing insued, because I am just upset about this, and the doctor, and my daughter, that I could not let it go. They sent me this 5 million word page that was sent in very very very tiny print where it told us to invoice...back then. So, in essence, they were right, but it should have been a little more communicated, and able to read. Seriously...I had to zoom the page about 6 times to read it.

They asked for our w-9 in january....no one told us to invoice then. Why not? Guy assures us we dont need to? What happened there? And.....and.....the amounts they present on the invoices do not match what they assured us they would pay.

So in summary, my husband did a 2.5 hour job late at night, that he normally would have been paid 130.00 for 95.00......another 2.5 hour job at night same rate, that he will be paid 115.00 for and an out of town job that cost gas, time to travel AND 2.5 hours, that he would have been paid 150.00 for 95.00 (that they agreed to pay 115.00 seems to slip everyone's mind)

I do not like this at all, sam I am. Now we get to see if the 3rd job will be approved, make sure the other jobs are not just dismissed in the first place due to it being 4 months ago, and wait until the next check run on the 22nd.

WHY do I need this now?
