I got laid off...retroactively?!?!
My company is owned by two partners I’ll call them DJ and JF. I got a call from DJ that went something like this, “Thanks for the last 15 years of work, but I’m laying off all the employees, including you effective three days from now. Sorry, but we’re broke.”
No severance package.
But here’s the real kicker. Because “we’re broke,” I’m not going to get a paycheck for the last two weeks that I worked until some undefined day in the future when “the company has money.”
In other words, I worked for two weeks for free. This guy is NEVER going to pay me. He still owes me money for a personal job I did for him back in July.
I’m in CA. Any advice?
