    Irish Confessional Box

    Irish Confessional Box

    An Irishman goes into the confessional box after years of being away
    from the Church. He is amazed to find a fully equipped bar with
    Guinness on tap. On the other wall is a dazzling array of the finest
    cigars and chocolates in the world.

    When the priest comes in, the Irishman excitedly begins..."Father,
    forgive me, for it's been a very long time since I've been to
    confession, but I must first admit that the confessional box is much
    more inviting than it used to be."

    The priest replies "Get out. You're on my side."

      Hahahaha, that's hilarious. Any update on paying me that old money GTS owes me from way-back-when?

          A bit more than $30k including missed pay and missed bonuses (for projects delivered), but I'll settle for $10k at this point to put it behind us. I'm nice like that.

                  It stopped being funny when I stopped getting my paycheck and was allowed to continue working for months with the promise of "eventually" getting it. Ah well.

                      I'll take some barter to pay it off.

                              This is no joke and not funny at all. Why not make a thread about it, or did I miss it?

                                  $30k is such a small amount; Mark should be honest enough to just pay me or barter with me. He shouldn't need to be shamed into it. Playboy owes me $60k+, and I haven't made a thread about them, either. If it isn't six figures, I can't see making an entire thread about it -- GFY is cluttered enough with "OH EM GEE, YOU OWE ME $20" threads.

                                  It was 3 paychecks @ $6,250 each, one $10,000 bonus payment, and at least half of another $10,000 bonus payment (although I contend that it's owed in full because of the failure to pay my base salary) .. so $33,750 to $38,750. Not too much, and I'd take it in payments, barter, or whatever form he prefers.

                                      So I can get you to do up to $90k in work then stop taking your calls or emails and you won't have an issue? I can muster up under $100k in programming work if you have spare time to not get paid again

                                              Has brain damage settled in from your failed MMA career or did you just sell off your last car and you're broke? Why in the world would you approach me in this manner?

                                                  I won't make a thread about it. I'll still have an issue.

                                                  My failed MMA career? 6-3 is a failure? What's your record? My last car? I sold my Viper, three of my BMW's (kept the 5-series), my Mustangs, my Firebird, my Camaro two of my Porsches, and some trucks. That's hardly my "LAST" car ... you know my driveway. When I'm down to my "LAST" car, you can pay me in cars, too, if you prefer.

                                                  I'm "approaching" you in this thread because other methods have failed. You keep saying you'll hit me at some point, or just laugh it off. I assume now you aren't laughing, so maybe this was the most effective way. Would you prefer another method? Of course I'll update the thread when we're settled up so everyone knows you're honorable and take care of your debts.

                                                          Actually, speaking of MMA ... if you'll get in the cage for 3 five-minute rounds ... if you WIN, you owe me nothing. If I win, you owe me the full $38,750.

                                                          We'll split any sponsorships, too .. and I'd be willing to do it at an adult convention. Think of the publicity GTS could pull from this.

                                                          What would you have to fear from a "failed" MMA competitor?

I did it very quickly because we're leaving for dinner then to pick out house furniture/decorations, so if there are errors, I apologize. I'll be back later, if I remember, to read replies.

                                                                      Mark -GTS (DH) 6:13 PM do you think posting that will get you anything from me?

                                                                      Mark -GTS (DH) 6:13 PM you're not getting paid now

                                                                      Edgeprod 6:15 PM I seriously doubt that.

                                                                      Mark -GTS (DH) 6:15 PM obv you have taken many punches to your head

                                                                      Mark -GTS (DH) 6:15 PM over the course of your failed mma career

                                                                      Mark -GTS (DH) 6:20 PM you didn't deliver plain and simple

                                                                      Edgeprod 6:22 PM Your web site listed him as what, Operations?

                                                                      Mark -GTS (DH) 6:22 PM in your mind we owe you that

                                                                      Edgeprod 6:23 PM You can try to re-write history all you want, but the debt is the debt. Your claim is that you're so dishonest that someone with a contract needs to sue you in order to collect money owed to them.
                                                                      Edgeprod 6:23 PM That's unfortunate.

                                                                      Mark -GTS (DH) 6:24 PM plain and simple

                                                                      Edgeprod 6:25 PM Then why did you e-mail me and tell me what a good job I did?
                                                                      Edgeprod 6:25 PM You told me in ICQ that you hired a programmer that wasn't me to A) save money, and B) make changes that you "forgot" to include on the spec sheet.
                                                                      Edgeprod 6:25 PM I can post all of that for you to refresh your memory as well.

                                                                      Edgeprod 6:25 PM Anything else isn't supported by reality or evidence.

                                                                      Edgeprod 6:26 PM And now, as a "penalty," you say I won't collect.
                                                                      Edgeprod 6:26 PM That's very good business, and I applaud you.

                                                                                              I'm not sure if you've ever dealt with companies in this industry, but it isn't the most regular-paying business sector. You learn to relax your expectations a little. Mark was constantly assuring me by phone that he was thrilled with my work and that payment was just hung up while the company went through some rough times. I heard wild and varying revenue claims, but I didn't yet have a reason to doubt him, despite what I had read about the man. Remember, I had been paid reasonable sums before being hung up for the three months of working without pay. Perhaps my mistake was in not reporting it to the labor bureau at the time. I assume that's still an option ... I hear Canada is serious about that sort of thing.

                                                                                              The whole reason I took such a low paying job (I was only guaranteed $75,000 per year with two $10,000 bonuses) was because my contract included an opportunity to sell my products as "branded" GTS products. GTS was to leverage their sales force to sell my stuff, and I'd share in the profits. Later, when this didn't happen, Mark told me on the phone that his guys were "too dumb to get it" (which was NOT my impression of his team -- I found many of them to be very smart and capable).

                                                                                              Instead of that mission, I was tasked with building a system for Submit Passes and an accounting backend for GTS. Many of the webmasters here probably used my built-from-scratch Submitpasses system, actually --- it was the one with the orange color scheme. It functioned well, but someone of only moderate skill tried to shoehorn in some ill-advised features after I left.

                                                                                              I built these systems, and that's when the payment weirdness started. Devin, who was in charge of operations at the time, can verify any and all of this. He still ICQ's me to this day about how Mark tricked me and took advantage. It disgusts us both.

But really it boils down to the risk/reward. Sue, and maybe you win, maybe you lose -- it still costs you money. You won't get a "clean" $38,750 in any case. Even with treble damages, it's only $116,250. After tax, figure $80,000 or so. $30,000 in attorney fees, you MIGHT clear $50,000 .... and that's a BIG if that you'd be granted the treble damages (although with the libel he's added about head injuries, medication, etc, it isn't that far fetched). So, worst case, you clear $10,000. Best case, you clear $50,000. If that's worth YEARS of litigation, travel, and headaches to you ... then I'm sorry to hear that.

                                                                                                                                                              "Worth it" suits begin in the six-figure range. I didn't go after Playboy for $60,000 slam-dunk open-and-shut, so I'm certainly not going after GTS for $38,750. Five-figure suits are hard to even find attorneys willing to pursue them. Write it off as bad debt on your taxes and move on. Speaking of taxes, I estimated my taxes for that year, and included the money GTS was supposed to pay, so I guess I got hurt twice on that money.

                                                                                                                                                              Now, if you're saying $38k is sitting on the sidewalk, I'd tell you that anyone would bend over and pick it up .. that's common sense. But people toss around "I'LL SUE YOU" over $200 on GFY; it's just ridiculous sometimes.

Write it off as bad debt on your taxes and move on. Speaking of taxes, I estimated my taxes for that year, and included the money GTS was supposed to pay, so I guess I got hurt twice on that money.

                                                                                                                                                                  Now, if you're saying $38k is sitting on the sidewalk, I'd tell you that anyone would bend over and pick it up .. that's common sense. But people toss around "I'LL SUE YOU" over $200 on GFY; it's just ridiculous sometimes.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      I see why you won't go to court over that amount, I've been taken a few times for $5k or less and really there isn't much recourse other than making it public and letting other know about your experience.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Court costs are high, and even if it's a small claims amount you still have to spend on travel costs. So bringing it to the court of public opinion is the cheapest and most effective way of getting back some of your cash.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      I don't know the story other than what I've read here, but for someone to say they aren't paying because the code or job wasn't good then you should have been told that right away and corrected it, otherwise it's just a bs excuse to screw you on payments owed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Hope you get paid man. I'm trying to get paid from a company that is very active here, sadly I just want my deposit back on a job that they couldn't complete and have been chasing them for months. Even the threat of going to the boards doesn't seem to matter, imagine if their hosting clients found out they don't have any reserves if something goes wrong, yet they are still dragging their asses to pay me. And I'm owed about 10% of what you were fucked for.
