After much internal debate, speaking to friends, and speaking to my financial management group, it has been decided that the whole amount Evil Company A is bullying me to pay them will be pulled from one of my portfolio thingies, deposited into my bank account, then my bank will issue a cashiers check to Evil Company A.
Which I will drop off. In person. Just so I can tell them to fuck off.
I will then turn over the $3K from Lovely Company B to said portfolio thingie. Which will help ease my loss. Emotionally, anyway.
During all this drama, two good pals suggested that I hire a lawyer and fight it. This does make sense, and I did seriously consider it. However, having gone down the lawyer road before, I felt that it would cost me more money (and aggravation) to wage a legal battle than the whole dollar amount in question. And much like divorcing a toxic spouse, I just want to cut ties with Evil Company A and get on with my life with my new boyfriend - Lovely Company B.
But...... what I WILL do is, once my last pay check from them is deposited, reveal the company name. Here, there, and everywhere I can.
MUHAHAHAHAHA!
Ah, now things are getting interesting :-) In such a competitive market, particularly when billable employees are so profitable, you wouldn't think they'd risk any bad press. Big company with big processes?
ReplyDeleteYou need to get a friggin LAWYER! They don't get paid unless you get paid! Or at least some of them do that. Oh well. That sucks.
