Ok heres where I start I've narrowly avoided a layoff which you guy read about a few months ago. now here we are three months later and I've stopped getting paid because the boss needs to get caught up on some shop bills which I understand with the economy in shambles and all and the fact that we had no work for a month. I even told him it was ok I could make do for a week or two with my savings and he said I'll make it up to you when we get caught up. So me being the inventive person I am I decided since I'm a good fabricator and we sponsor a drag racing series I would set-up a winter cage special to drum up some business and it worked pretty well we now have a ton of work in the shop and I've been working my tail off to get cars back out quickly and correctly without overwhelming myself. Why post this well it's been a month and a half and still nothing not even a bone here and there to help with my bills. Now thankfully I'm smart enough that I don't have a car payment but there are other bills comming in and I cant pay them. I've tried to sell some of my projects but no one is buying anything right now. I dont want to have to look for another job and I've built his business up for him the last year and a half and I feel like I'm being taken advantage of here. I've talked to him about this and he says we will be caught up soon and the work I've done is helping but come on when will this end. What should I do? My name is associated with his shop now and I dont want to leave and leave him hi and dry.
