[Ipg-smz] When the client doesn't sign the check

[Alyson Behr]

Hey Joe,

No amount is insignificant. You worked for it, you’re owed it and you count on it. 

When I hear things like “It got lost in the pile, fell through the cracks, overlooked, etc.," that’s disrespectful. I commit to deadlines with my editors/clients. They rightfully expect me to meet those deadlines. It’s a two way street with payment deadlines. 

I’m working for the clients that pay the best and pay on time since I have the same 24 hours in a day everyone else does and need to make the most of the time. I also don’t write for clients who are rude and treat people poorly. Not worth it, there’s a beach 5 minutes away I can sit on instead.

I’m a +1 what Mac says about warning your colleagues away. You’d be doing us all a favor;)

Client over a month late paying a not-insignificant payment (at least, not insignificant to me). I point this out to their AP. AP nitwit asks me for a current address, claiming that the check was sent back to them.

I give them correct address. AP nitwit says they'll overnight it.

Next day arrives. They haven't sent it yet and it's near EOB. I point this out. AP nitwit says they meant they would overnight it THAT day.

Check arrives next day. I go to bank. Bank teller politely points out that he can't do anything with it because the check is unsigned.

(Why am I not on direct deposit, you ask? Because I filled the ACH forms out and they lost the forms multiple times.)

Thinking about shorting their stock. SMH.
