I'm no lawyer, but I'm not sure that can even be legal. At a minimum, the
body shop needs to pay you minimum wage, I would presume.
the consulting agency paid me 20/hr for those 3 weeks. But when it was
all over GSI paid the consulting agency zero dollars for my services.
On the other hand, although you can't sign away fundamental rights, you *can*
give up some basic reasonable things when you're desperate. Sounds like you
were a bit desperate.
No, I operate on passion and I was wired about the work I would be
doing. Also, I had never been cut any earlier than 6 months in 6 years
of consulting, so I figured there was no reason for that to happen now
to me.
Remember, you yourself once said to me: "princepawn, you live in an
ideal world" :)
