I work for a well known creative firm in town - they hired me on a 1099 basis for a small trial and then promised a salary after 2 weeks. Two months later, I am still 1099 (even though I'm working full time)...I have found out that most employees (there are only 4) don't even take a paycheck because they don't need it and the company perceives anyone who wants to be paid regularly as "selfish and a bother."
They don't pay me regularly - most of the time there's no money to pay bills because the owner has spent it on his personal bills and shopping.
I brought the problem up with my boss and he said that "we're a small business - cash flow problems are normal...you can change things if you want to take the initiative."
Is this situation normal?? They have been in business 12 years, so they are not in the startup mode anymore. Should I stick it out and try to change it and have a great success story for my portfolio or accept that I have different values and move on?
