Finally got work, & they even offer direct deposit. I really like direct deposit. Pay arrives a day earlier than those waiting on printed checks, no time lost due to bank's check processing, immediate confirmation that the company you're working for actually has the funds available....
Then the day arrives. You've gone so long without work that all your cash is gone, you've mounted immense debt, put off your current -- now late -- bills, even had to hassle others for a small amount of cash just to get by, you log into your on-line banking to find....
A zero balance.
OK. Your payroll department needs two weeks to process a direct deposit request. Forget that you've been working for not just two, but three weeks. Call work to see that checks have arrived & that one is there waiting for you to find that there's no check, & the manager isn't in.
Wait.
Wait longer.
Call the boss, as he's in now, &, while he's been informed of the lack of a check, he's not called the General Manager.
More waiting.
Turns out the storm that put our corporate office under a few feet of snow kept them from processing my payroll. And to think, three weeks of work isn't enough time for them to do any work....
