Yeah, startups are wild. Situations like this are why I don't really freelance or work for startups anymore.

Waiting on that 6th video when the winner is announced 🥲
@jejeszcr158 Says:
Now, I’m in the similar situation like yours too. My boss keep paying me late, I was fine for the 2 months. Then he gave me a lot promise, while he still late to pay me. Until this point, I was trying to don’t care anymore, stop work there, and ignoring him. Fortunately I have freelance job/ side hustle, so I can survive from that while I’m looking for new jobs. Don’t trust business man, too much speak, never act + heartless. They never care if we need money to eat and pay bills

Bro this video stressed ME out! 🥴😂😂😂
@themaistil Says:
Lets, go. Hope you pick me for giveaway:)
@creeksideent2639 Says:
I love your spirit dude. Subbed🤙
@karieltheone Says:
No. Just no. I've work in a lot of start-ups, never had this kind of problem. It doesn't matter what size of a company it is, if they fail to pay you once you should start to look for a new job. No pay from them, no contractual obligations on your part. It's that simple.
@lourenzomartin312 Says:
That should be illegal. Get a lawyer dude
@MW-wq1ex Says:
Yanno what the scariest part of this video is? Is I’m a 27 y.o. male, looking to make a major career change and thought “software engineering may be a good path to get on and invest time in” and then I see someone who is leaps and bounds more proficient than I am, and will probably take years to get to his level of knowledge and he is struggling to find work. WHAT. THE. FUCK. Late stage capitalism [reddit] vibes are strong here. It’s like how do we please our overlords to get a somewhat livable wage?! I could die anyday now and I’m spending 1/2 my waking hours if not all just worrying how I’m gonna NOT be homeless...what a life! The American dream folks, gotta be asleep to believe it! (George Carlin)

@brandonsanders7568 Says:
Keep grinding, you got this!
@suomac7483 Says:
It's gonna be okay brother :) :) .... all of this is just a stepping stone ... you're in the right way to total awesomeness
@georgeshoemaker6872 Says:
I think with a job under your belt, getting job #2 will be much much easier
Also the moment I don't get paid, I would just stop working
Your videos are authentic, man. Glad you’re sharing your journey with everyone.
@beverly2jaustin Says:
This story made me mad lol. That place sounds like... no IS a scam. I almost want you to say who it is so that others will avoid that giant red flag. I understand and respect why you don’t. I always say “When the money stops, the work does too.” So disrespectful. Hope you’re hired soon!
@Mariio- Says:
You should mention the startup company so others down fell to them
@krissmgvlogs Says:
When I worked for the BBC in London, I took for granted being paid .😂 Now that I live and work in the Caribbean being paid what has been promised and on time is a distant memory 😂
@Loopline80 Says:
Rough start for your first job! Keep it pushing and you will make great things happen🤙
@puyatecla9903 Says:
Have you ever thought about mentoring young black guys who like to code?
@mikehall257 Says:
Hey bro, just think about all that you've learned from this experience! You gained new marketable skills and have more insight to some red flags for the next job search.
@ferdztechtv Says:
Bro I watched the video and my honest response is you should not have put up with the second late payment ... it was at that point you should have put your foot down and said "I need to be paid or I'm out ...."
@ferdztechtv Says:
Bro let's do a collab video
@Trndndf Says:
Unlucky man
@EmmanuelMadu Says:
Amazing Video!!
@buffalodread7155 Says:
I hear you bro.
My employer in the hotel where I worked in kitchen as cook assistant didn't rehire me after the job contract expired 2 months ago.I shouldn't have told them that I'm expecting to have a knee operation in two weeks and 3 month of recovering after it. I now learn the free unlocked course on linkedin for programming in python.
Good luck with finding a new job.
@bbbbbbbbbb4491 Says:
I would've refused to work and taken the project offline so they couldn't access it until all outstanding payments were payed in full. Ain't no one got time to work for free!
@Ciaseea Says:
Unprofessional. Sorry that happened; is payment being shaky common even at a start-up?
@vincentnonnenmacher9352 Says:
Everyone would understand that you cancel this giveaway, until better days !!!! Keep it you’ll never know when you really need to have it.
@FabioTheGreat Says:

@DYOR-md2tc Says:
Minor setback for a MAJOR COMEBACK! Positive change WILL come!
@troythompson2 Says:
Been here man. Keep pushing! I had to learn to only show up for work when I get paid twice every full moon. Some startups just try to take advantage.
@howardfletcher9322 Says:
Cool beans
@lukealley39 Says:
im on my applying grind, hopefully can get a job soon :(
@bc.whisnant Says:
Why not pursue legal action? If you signed a contract then he has broken that and you should be able to get that handled. I know getting a lawyer is obviously expensive but it may be worth it just to have the satisfaction of teaching them how they should treat employees.
@KyleMcClay Says:
Feels bad, feels really bad
@chrislyonm Says:
Bro I wish you the best with everything. Going to grab myself a hoodie too.
@Spedfree Says:
This is the day I was going to tell you when you get paid 😂😂😂😂
@Spedfree Says:
Damn that’s ghetto, that’s something my dad wiuld do smh
@ledjonshtika Says:
Yep, this is why you always avoid a start up no matter what the reason.
@KingCloudDaGreat Says:

@RealEstateMover Says:
Well Atleast this is a learning experience lol I think you stayed too long tbh. Especially with communication like that I would’ve been started looking in September lol.
@babyboie20 Says:
