Job Frustration

Life could have been much easier if bosses are more responsible with their actions.

2016 have been the roller coaster ride of my career of having 2 different job in a year.
I would have to say quitting and joining a new job could be a pleasant and unpleasant feeling.

My 1st job is in a small company, with only a few people in it. It all started well and I enjoyed it as a journey. I meant how bad could it go with a company only few people and everyone is like a family.
Well, the answer is it could go wrong if the boss chose to go the wrong way. Things went spiral when the company strike a delay in funding and it went spiral down further when the boss act as if I am the bad person when I am trying to bring sales to the company. Thus, therefore quit.

I joined the 2nd company, in my mind it would be such an awesome moment to join a startup and having the good times with a bunch of awesome mates. Its really awesome to be in a startup and I even get to go to a work trip to Europe. It was so much fun and I really really enjoyed it. But one thing kept coming up is when I would get my salary. Counting a month and a month and a month.
for my 3.5 months of work and received only 1 month of salary, everything goes spiral down again. Request for salary went unheard and excuses and the boss kept selling hope and equity sharing just to keep everyone around.

My experience and advice to bosses,
At any point of time when an employee ask for money after working for months, don't leave us unheard. We are having a very hard time to just come and work and still thinking about our financial issue despite having a job.

For me, I burnt out my savings to keep working at the job and with almost 2k of money owe to my friends and family. I left the job and still having a court inquiry to the company to settle my salary claims.
