Private school boss refuses to pay employees for months at a time, leaving those without 2nd jobs scrambling for funds: 'I had to borrow money from my parents to get through October'

This boss kept missing payroll. Then his employees threatened to walk.

One of the key tenets of work is that you are compensated for it. It's one of the main reasons you show up every day. Hopefully, you're passionate about the mission as well, but let's be real. If it weren't for the cash, you would probably stop coming in. It's why it's called a job, and not volunteering. But some bosses fundamentally misunderstand this. They try to see how far they can stretch their workers before they break. Why? It's more profitable for the company. 

Beyond the fact of simply being paid, however, is the desire to be paid on time. This is almost as important as being paid at all. Because if you're waiting for a paycheck that seems to never come, that's just as good as having no money in your bank account. Because guess what? You probably don't. This is what happened to a group of employees at a private school, and they all had a lot to say about this. One worker in particular.
