A single late salary payment (even by a day) is code red to jump ship.
Regardless of any excuses or reasons they give you –
This kills every employee’s trust in the company at once.
Even if it wasn’t fucked before, it is now.
(And if a company that wasn’t already fucked decides to pay salaries late for any reason, then whoever is in charge is such a colossal idiot, it’ll be fucked soon anyway.)The only time I’ve had a late salary payment, it was because of an issue with the vendor that was fixed within a day or two.
I’m willing to cut my employer a little slack when the process fucks up and they’re johnny on the spot letting you know and giving a timeline. You tell me that there’s a delay because of funds or lazy fuckery, I’m looking for a new job asap.
i knew a couple of start up people.
a lot of people involve are already rich. they don’t need pay and they are basically gambling on the payday in equity.
they also tend to have a delusional sense of how important they are doing. i once went out with someone who was just trying to clone grubhub or whatever, but without any car delivery as some ‘eco’ version of it. they were not a smart person. probably a talented dev though.

This is satire, right? … right?
Maybe it is, but I’ve worked for a startup that did this.
Not with that same phrasing, but similar (standing together in tough times, willing to sacrifice, …)
They folded 3 months later.
Wage theft
The amount of money in fines a company have to pay in my country if they do that is bigger than the salaries. If it happens twice the company cam even be closed
On a serious note, what recourse does the employee have of they received such a mail?
