Need advice...work problem
I got this job for an office down in princeton. I was hired as a contractor with a verbal contract and was told that the salary would be $20,000/year. My job was to grab resumes from people who replied to a "made up" (aka false advertising) add on monster.com and then send emails to those people telling them that thier resume has been viewed and they should contact us. For a while I was working in the office building. Then I started hating the commute to princeton and back every day in rush hour so I asked the boss if I could work from home. He said "Fine but I am only going to pay you for 4 hours of work instead of 8." I agreed to that and was on my way. So for a while I was only sending emails for 2 people (30 each) for 4 hours a day. So when it came time that a 3rd person was working there I thought it was only fair that I charged them for 6 hours worth of work since it was directly proportional. The work started getting too much for me so with the help of my friend tim, we constructed a web based app that did most of the work for me. You see, I had to keep track of everyones name and email that I sent an email to to make sure that I didnt send to that person again. So this app we put together kept track of ther name, email, and the date I sent them an email. It also composed and sent the emails for me and checked to make sure I didnt already send mail to them first. I had to use this app because at the time there were around 3700 people that I had emailed so far and to use outlook express to search through that many people would take too long. I told my boss about this program but he was not at all interested in paying for it. So I just used the app for myself to save time and kept charging him the same amount. I usually save up 2 or 3 paychecks before I hit the bank. Well, I didnt receive 3 of my paychecks (3 weeks worth of work) but still had one from august. I go to cash it and the bank would not let me and would not tell me why. So i belive there was a stop payment on it. He claimed that he didnt know what was wrong but to go back and try again which I did and it went through. He said that he forgot to send my other checks but when I asked him where they were the week before he said that he had sent them out already. So he finally ended up sending all 3 checks at once and everything was good again. Untill now. Apparently when I refused to work because I had not received my money, the boss told everyone at work that I screwed them all over for a lot of commision and that everything was MY fault, he used me as a scapegoat so he would not look bad. So one of the people I send emails for started doing some of hers on her own and claimed that she could do 40 in an hour whereas I could do 15 in an hour. I said, yeah you dont have to search through 5000 people! I have had it with this place and want to quit. I am just afraid that if I quit today, I wont receive my paycheck for last week. I have also been the person who has built thier website from scratch and put together an online calendar system for them. I was wondering if I could get in trouble if I wrote code into the schedule that says "The license for this program has expired, please contact your system administrator." Do you think I would get in trouble for that? Also, according to them it should only take me 2 or 3 hours to complete the amount of emails that need to be sent a day. So at $10/hour they would be paying me ~$25 a day. That was not part of the original agreement. ALSO, they asked me to install pirited versions of some software. I told them it was wrong but sad to say my job depended on it. I really need some advice as to what to do. Thanks for your help.
