'The total demand was something like $135k': Employer cheats guy on overtime, guy plays the long con to get it all back, plus interest
Patience is a virtue — so states the proverbial phrase — but in a modern world, that idea seldom comes into actual practice. Everything is happening so quickly, changing so suddenly, that waiting or trying to be patient often means that it's already too late. We've all been trained by the idea of "missing out" into giving in to each and every impulse; when, retrospectively, if you don't miss the thing you "missed out" on… did you really miss out at all?

Usually, the interest charged on the payment will barely keep up with inflation (if at all); getting the payments back in a lump sum may result in higher taxation by local governments; plus, there's always the risk of the company going under in that time, which means you never see a dime of that money.
