My fiance's job is....complicated.

He was looking for a job, but no one would hire him because he lacked enough experience. He found this job and they cared more about ability than experience. There was no contact when he first started, so the company didn't pay him for a 2 weeks. My fiance walked. They apologized, said they couldn't afford him full-time, and created a contract for him to work 5 hours a week at $40 an hour, anything over 5 hours would be $25 an hour, 5% commission for sales he makes, stock in the company, and a bonus for projects completed. We agreed just so he could get in experience. Oh, his title is IT Director and he builds cloud storage solutions...or something like that. Well, they never paid him for the hours he worked over the first 5, and they only paid him 2/3 of a bonus for completion of a project. His contract ended mid-March and they promised him a salary by end of March. No salary yet.

He also started building them their own cloud to host other companies data. Well, the CFO isn't paying the bill to the company where their servers are. The 1.5 million dollar deal was going to be signed this Friday, but they can't because their severs won't be online since there's nowhere to house them. And this deal was with a Fortune 500 company!

So my fiance and a coworker are going to try to get the severs back tonight before the company siezes them. If he can't get them back, the project dies, the company probably dies, and there will be no work for him. He made about 12k last year from this company. If the deal would have gone through, he would have gotten 5% of it every month. You do the math. It's a huge loss for us. He has proven his loyalty to the company and if they can't afford him still, then it's time to find a job that actually pays him what he's worth.

Besides, he'll have his MBA in May. He'll be worth a lot more then.
