I too started out in a shop like that but I knew no different. I just assumed that all the industry operated in the same manner. Over the years I have been a part of different segments of the business world. Union worker, management, foreman, business owner and other sorts so I had a good idea how things should run. Same principal no matter where you are. Didn't take me long to see the light. I documented everything and left nothing to just their records. the day before I left I handed them two invoices. First one was what they owed me and the second was a copy addressed to the appriasers board with copies to the state labor board and Atty Generals office. Next day when leaving for the last time there was a check in the 5 figure range. Boy that must have screwed their workmans comp payment for that quarter as it is based on gross income of the employees. My credo has always been mess with me all you want but DON'T EVER MESS WITH MY PAYCHECK because you will have to pay me to mess with you
