c'est la vie

its very frustrating having to deal with money. Everytime I land a semi decent job something HAS to happen. Either I experience frustration from accolades going to those with seniority not ability or the boss has to fuck with my money, either way money is the tool of manipulation

hmm. Provided that this is not an under the table job, and you have a signed contract with your employer, that person is required by law to pay you for servies you renderd. Other wise you could sue for specific performace. ( IE. your contract says you do X job and he pays you Y cash to do said job. If you do said job and he fails to pay you then you have legal grounds to sue for specific performance. I think. ) Im not sure what job you are doing at the moment but if every thing is legal you are due payment for services already performed, bottom line.

You don't really need a signed contract, either. Most jobs, at least in this state, do not involve an employment contract (except for things like, well, temporary contracting positions.) It DOES need to be a "real job." If you filled out a W4 and they've been withholding tax and such, he owes you for whatever your salary or hourly rate up until the time he tells you that you are no longer employed.
