Wife and I are planning on a great Christmas. We get to have electricity and some canned food for this coming week. This sucks. On the plus side we also bought a house this year and we may get to keep it another month if I get paid.

Thanks all for feedback - all signs point to leaving. I signed a contract for no-competition / I would be starting over with something new.

Nothing has changed since the post - but thanks to RoyalElixir we had a great meal today - they were our PizzaAngel ! Thanks all.

Don't count on your actual boss. Start looking for another source of income asap. I betcha he's keeping your money to his Xmas.
NetWorkLag
Quite possibly.

This sounds like the company is about to go out of business

Seriously, GTFO. What tech field? Start shining up that resume/CV. If the company goes under, you won't see a dime.

Server, Cloud, Web and Apps. I am self taught on everything and have no paper qualifications / I started off by doing for charity for free.

the big question is, is your boss also in financial trouble or he's just a slow paying cheapstake
NetWorkLag
Yes.

Have you thought about switching careers? All building trades are desperate for help and construction pays big $!
NetWorkLag
Not thought about it. I am a techie, used to sitting behind a desk, not sure about construction. Chair modeling perhaps? Mouse demonstrator?

You've got a good sense of humor, so there's that. You could always look into survey (land, pipeline, etc.). Tech skills go far.

Were you able to help them out?
NetWorkLag
We appreciate the offer. Wife and I are talking things over on our budget. If it comes down to the wire I may take you up on the offer.
RoyalElixir
No worries. It's an open ended offer. I'm here if you need anything. Happy holidays!
NetWorkLag
If the offer is still on... There has been no movement on my job front and a meal would be a big help. I sent a chat msg to you.
