I’m an assistant and paid under the table. It has been a month and a week since I have been paid last. My last payment was also a month out. I have $40 left in my checking account.

There are a lot of reasons I want to quit.

1. I don’t get paid on time 2. My boss constantly keeps me over my scheduled time and guilts me if I say I can’t 3. Is negative/mean to other people unnecessarily. Talking behind their back, calling new people learning dipshits, and just overall makes unnecessary comments 4. Constantly flirts/talks to other and meets up with people even though married which makes me uncomfortable because I’m so against that (it isn’t my business and I don’t do anything about it, it’s just something I don’t want to have to hear about especially since it’s not business) 5. Is one of those people that always brags about themselves, thinks they are better than everyone else, and demeans people. Which is negativity I don’t want to be around 6. I have heard her make comments about me, even allowing someone else to call me a bitch and not defending me (for asking questions) 7. I don’t have a lot of training, I was just thrown into the job and it’s stressful because I get “talked to” for not knowing things. 8. I have asked for a schedule, asked for more training, and asked to be paid on time and none are followed. The schedule has gotten better but I still am expected to stay over. She says that I should be responsible for reminding her when I need to be paid, keep track of my own hours, which I do but then she says “oh I forgot my checkbook” or “oh tomorrow I’m really busy today”. 9. The job is actually really stressful without the addition of all of this.

I still have a family business I work for and want to fix myself for the better. I just don’t see how staying in this stressful work environment will help me.

I am waiting to be paid, if she doesn’t pay me today, I’m just going to quit. But if she does pay me, is it wrong to still quit? I don’t want to go through all of this every single month. Waiting to be paid, stressing about money, especially when I just started antidepressants and am trying to change my life for the better and that includes eliminating stress. Is it wrong of me to quit?

•my concern is that she will be mad and talk bad about me to everyone (even though I’ve been a great employee) and I will have a hard time getting into/starting in the industry.
