I appreciate you trying to alay my fears on this forum, but why not write to me officially to let me know the company plans and to outline and apologise for this uncertainty regarding pay? Is it an issue of liability?
I've been reliably informed that from a legal I will almost certainly not receive my wages, and neither will anyone else, unless the company stays out of liquidation. From this standpoint, and also because I have never been the type to bear a grudge and would consider a few of the employees there as friends, I genuinely hope that IMJack succeeds.
I do wish that things could be different though, and this is the first time which I have felt the desire to post on this site. I dislike hiding my identity, and I do not have any legal cases open, so I don't see why everyone shouldn't know who I am.
My contribution to this debate is that I haven't yet seen anybody stand up for the way in which the company has continually kept those that have been sacked in the dark. I stayed on through quite a lot of the employee cull, and whilst to an extent I can understand the need to lose a lot of staff the manner in which it was carried out was deplorable. Not just that but those still at the company seem to be continually told of the ongoing efforts to pay staff that have left, but this converts to absolute silence once you are out of the door.
I do not wish to criticise any individual, but more point out that as a whole the policy of ignoring staff that have quit until legal proceedings begin only invites more aggravation than is necessary. To then find inflammatory comments such as "the vast majority of these comments are bitter ex employees whining about how they haven't received their pay quite as quickly as they would like" and I have chosen a particularly harsh example to well illustrate my point, it becomes nothing short of dramatic. As far as anyone knows I may have a bitter landlord whining about how he hasn't received my rent as quickly as he would like, is that illegitimate?
I find threats lurking everywhere, whether it be being threatened about 'cyber-investigators' finding out if I ever post anything online and stopping me ever working again, or a little warning from a friend that perhaps revealing my identity might provoke a reaction against me personally from some source or another. I always had a lot of time for Jeffrey Morris, I found him a warm, friendly, and witty character, but the fear and hatred that pervades these discussions is certainly undermining the faith which I had originally in his character.
If there is any intention for my wages to be paid to me it would be nice to receive something in writing saying so, until this happens I am unable to believe this intention is genuine. I think that is fair enough.
Techdirt has not posted any stories submitted by whatasillysituation.
Still not convinced

Quite uncertain
