My first paying co-op the interior design firm was small and wasn’t paying me regularly. I was desperate for money and the owners were very wealthy. I had just one coworker beside the owners and after a few weeks of no check I asked him when we would be paid and he basically told me to just be patient, when the client paid the firm we would get paid. I literally had NO money for gas to get to work and was embarrassed to ask my parents and admit I wasn’t being paid. Being patient to be paid is completely wrong and illegal and that was terrible advice. I ended up quitting for something closer to home and would never subject myself to that again!
