I am glad you are finally getting your day in court!!!!!! What I fine interesting, people see me in an elevator and grab their purses and avoid eye contact. However, no one pays attention to these sharks in the corporate world and wall street in their couture suits. They will wipe you clean!!!! Pats on the back for sharing your story and standing for whats right, no matter what the outcome of …..karma will get them!!!!!

That’s right. No one has the right to play with us. We need to be strong enough to teach them a lesson.

It felt DAMN GOOD being up there today! Not gonna say what happened yet, but there shall be a new update post about it soon ;) Here’s to sticking up for ourselves!!

@Maria Nedeva – Amen to that, sister.
@Peliroo – Yeah, for sure. He seemed really genuine at first, and we all thought he’d do whatever it takes to get us our pay, but as the weeks (and then months) went on, we realized it was a lost cause. Even *if* the company has no money anymore, at least he could have been real with us and not turn into such a jack a$$. Some of the people in our suit blatantly caught him lying about this stuff, so F. that.
@cashflowmantra – Who you calling little? :)
@Kevin – Hah! Funny you should mention that. I learned in court today that we’re going after damages and penalties too – I hadn’t heard that before until we were smack in the middle of it… I’ll tell you all how that panned out soon.
@Niki – Thank you!!
@Brandi – Awwww, I am both sad AND happy for you!! :) Much smarter than I was in leaving on your own terms like that. Good for you. I hope they surprise you and you get all your money owed! (and watch out for deer still — this is your weekly reminder, haha…)
@daisy – Thank you! And I agree. One of my other reasons for filing it, and going through with it all, is to make sure they double think at least next time they’re up to no good. Of course if they just don’t care at all, it’s not going to matter much, but even if it stops ONE PERSON from getting screwed I’d call that a win :) So we see what happens now!
@Jennie Kohl Austin – Oooooh cool, okay I will!!! You just made my Friday!!! :)
@Trinnie – Haha… well, I can tell you this. I def. did something almost-stupid! You’ll hear about it soon in my next update post :)
@No Debt MBA – Yup! I agree. The sick thing is that some people even do this to their friends and family members. I’ve seen people be super cool and loving in social settings, and then turn their backs on them when it came to money or business, etc. Just unbelievable…
@crashdamage1957 – That’s an excellent way to put it, my friend – I love it :)
@Stephanie – I know, right??? All Christians(and non-Christians) make mistakes and ofcourse aren’t perfect, but DON’T GO AROUND acting all high and mighty when you’re certainly far from it. It’s not even professional to walk around spouting that to all your employees anyways, regardless of your actions in this world.
@Christine – Thank you, Christine! :)
@Andrea – I totally get you on that! Most of the other people in our suit were bashing Christians because of the way he acted, and it made me feel uncomfortable to say I was a Christian too. I think that’s just human nature because of the situation, but maybe we’ll get better at it as we keep practicing over time :) I appreciate you bringing this up.
@Daraius – Thanks D! We’ll see what happens :)
@Jaime – I know, and you’re right :) I change some things around to be a little safer, but the rawness is what got me blogging to begin with. Sometimes I have to embrace it and ride it wherever it takes me!
@Ash – HAH! That guy who wanted me to do the freelancing? (the one who fired me?) Guess who was sitting next to me at court ;) He’s now “one of us.”
@retirebyforty – Yes we do, sir!
@Sam – There are a dozen or so of us on the suit, all represented by one lawyer. We paid a little to get things started, but basically she gets paid when/if we all get paid. Which means she’ll get a LOT (40% or so) or nothing at all… and with all the people on the suit – and the circumstances – it’s a good bet ;)
@Jenna, Adaptu Community Manager -Thanks Jenna!
@Jen @ Master the Art of Saving – Thanks Jen! I was definitely an experience! :)

Will you use a lawyer? If so, how does she get paid given you are only suing for $2,100? I think OJ’s lawyer made that in an hour! :)
