Former employee calls out ex-boss for not paying him for 2 weeks after he was fired: ‘I had the audacity [to ask] for the money I earned’

So many employers can get away with unfair treatment of their workers, but one thing bosses should always avoid is messing with their employees' paychecks. Everyone knows that when you mess with someone's money, you could be in deep trouble.

For some reason, this dude's boss genuinely thought he could get away with not paying his former employee for two weeks after he fired the guy. It doesn't matter if there was a disagreement or if the author was bad at his job. Under his contract, he needed to be paid for his final days at work. After weeks of nothing but radio silence, the ex-employee finally came to the conclusion that he wasn't going to get his money back unless he demanded it. Of course, this kind of confrontation isn't easy, but considering the fact that the former boss was clearly not planning on following through, the confrontation was necessary.
