'I need my full paycheck': Employee quits two weeks in after boss never draws up his W2, demands to be paid in full

Some jobs seem like great opportunities in theory, but in practice, things can go awry pretty quickly. 

Here, we have a social media strategist who was hired by a boutique dentist's office and was tasked with making video content for his new boss. However, after requesting a W2 on day one, his new employer kept delaying drawing up any paperwork. It became crystal clear to the new hire that this was not going to work out, as he was putting in over 40 hours a week and still had not had the opportunity to sign that initial paperwork. Additionally, it wasn't worth the commute, gas, and tolls every day. So when he confronted his boss about his imminent departure, the dentist tried to make payment a front desk issue. 

Keep scrolling below to see how the employee dug his heels into the ground and refused to go away until he was properly compensated for those two weeks. For more content like this, check out this post about this new tutor's poor hours.
