This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah, I have, and I got stiffed out weeks of pay I was owed because it was with a fly-by-night contractor that had a nose-candy problem. ...Which is why I don't do that any more. (Plus, he insisted on doing shit in the most backassward, bullshit way. I'll be surprised if his shit doesn't kill someone some day.)

If you work for a reputable company--not as a 1099 contractor, which is self-employed--then you probably have to be paid overtime pay. If you get a W2, and you're not getting OT when you have to put in more than 40 hours in a week, then you need to consult with an employment attorney.
