I have worked jobs in brick and mortar stores and offices. I have had problems with my paychecks either not getting them on time or them bouncing ![em]sad[/em I have worked in places and was physically assaulted by other employees. Was hired in a doughnut shop and they knew I had physical issues with an arm and couldn’t lift heavy things. The very first day I was told I had to lift a heavy piece of machinery and my new coworkers laughed at me because I was struggling I worked in one office for 3 days went in to pick up my paycheck and POOF! Everyone and everything was gone! I got a twice a month job doing marketing as a Mystery Shopper for a company 28 years ago and they sent me a check to cover the cost of items they wanted me to purchase then I turned a report in online. Then I received a check for my time. Did that for over a year no problems. I have done other jobs like that and never got paid. I have done other work that I was given the opportunity online. I recently was given one got the check and I deposited it and my financial institution automatically starts saying it is a scam .

i wasn't paid for a seasonal job. firm bankrupted, pension insurance took away my days cause they ignored i wasn't paid and the owner is having good time somewhere. i am really sorry; other employees are not human beings. i am currently unemployed too and hope for some good things; i hope good things will come to you too.

Sorry to hear your challenges and your journey from offline to online world. Well, for me I have tried blogging and well yet to get a desired breakthrough . I did write for others and most of the times were decently rewarded. Online jobs have helped me to earn some income although not regular or solid enough to cover my expenses. I have not been lucky with mystery shopping. I did surveys and similar tasks and earned some amount.So, yes, there are some earnings but not enough to cover my expenses.Hopefully, I could get breakthoughs as desired. Hope you would also get great breakthroughs as needed!

Thankfully I've never worked and not been paid. I guess I've been lucky.

I've been lucky that I've always been paid. I started working at 14 at a library and really loved that. Was tempted to stay there after college. Have a good weekend.
