Reply to comment by BallisticHabit in LPT: Wash the laundry detergent cup with your clothes to get it clean by random00
liquid detergent is mostly water, and leaves residue on the machine and the clothes.

Reply to LPT: Never tell a coworker anything you don’t want the entire office to know by Basic-Ideal
You can have friends at work but the moment that bus come around to run someone over and it’s either you or them they will pick you most of the time.
I became friends with this dude at my work named Jakson, we hung out, played games together, even been to each others homes for a cookout or two! Then one day I get called into the office and was told I need to stop harassing him…… this shit came out of nowhere and I didn’t understand, I told my bosses I’ve never even contacted him outside of work except through the Xbox, everything else we’ve done has been planned here at work or via text where he texted me first. I had to go through and show them my text and everything just to keep my job. About 2 months go by and he comes over to my area asking why I’ve been avoiding him and I said “ you filed a HR complaint against for harassment, so I’m making sure I don’t bother you anymore “ and he told me he filed that just to have a excuse to avoid a write up….. assuming I’d understand.
No. You nearly cost me my job because you wanted to avoid a written warning , fuck that shit I’m out!
Now I don’t do anything with any coworkers unless I got a paper trail, I just got really lucky with him. Fool me once…. You won’t get a chance to do it again I promise

How short does the walk has to be?

It's kinda difficult to renegotiate once the work's already done. You agreed to do it for free, it's been done, and now you're doubling back and insisting they owe you. Next time ask to be paid, either up front or in equity. Write this one off, hombre. They don't owe you anything.

Advice would be move on because unless it's out of the kindness of their heart you aren't getting paid. They don't owe you money cause you did them a favor for free

Was there a contract? Without a contract, you’re going to have a really hard time with this. There might be some protections for you, but if you’re struggling financially, then you likely won’t be able to afford a lawyer who would been versed in this type of case anyway.
Sorry, OP, but the best advice for you might be to prepare better next time.

The deal was a favour. What if you buy a can of coke today for 50c but in a year you become a millionaire... Can the shop now ask you for $10 for the can of coke?

Wow, great advice, thanks for sharing 🫶 Yeah, in this case, we give our body and brain some kind of relief. It’s also pretty good to keep moving during these pauses. A short walk or light exercises can really help you reboot yourself

If they didn't make any money would you ask to be paid? Your first mistake was not setting your payment rates up front. You can't change the agreement now after the fact.

Get over it and chalk it up as a lesson. Don’t do favours for people and expect to be paid if that wasn’t stipulated up front.

This is why I'm asking for advice. I will ask to be paid, and I just wanted to know the best approach

Are you getting your assignments done? Are you trying your best and your work is not below average? Does anyone ever appreciate your work? .. i keep reminding myself the answers to these questions, then i feel more wholesome.

I appreciate all your comments, and it feels as though luck is not on my side. Do I resort to ULPT? I live in a small village and it wouldn't be difficult to get the word out about how they've treated me. If anyone has any of those ideas, please feel free to DM me

You've literally said in other comments that you did it as a favour. You agreed to do it, with no payment offered. That is agreeing to do it for free.

Gofundme or ask for help from family and friends. You have no leverage here. You need to be humble and ask for assistance.

Op said they did work as a favor free of charge and wants to get paid after the person they did the favor for made fun of them.. they have no case and would be wasting more money and court time doing anything but moving on with their life

I don't live in the US, they know I can't afford to take it to court, and..the closest food bank to me is a 1hr drive. I don't have a car. I live rurally in Europe

You said in the comments you did this as a favor.. you aren't getting paid then unless they feel like paying you. Without an expectation, commitment and agreement to be paid prior to doing the work you don't get to be paid after the fact because you're mad.
That's why you have contracts and work out money before doing work. You aren't entitled to be paid for a favor you did for friends because the friends then took your favor and turned a profit over it. A good friend would have thrown money your way because you helped them but it doesn't seem like the people you did the favor for were good friends just friends of convenience.
BroccoliPrince t1_j9ixe8k wrote
I'm not a lawyer but considering there was no actual agreement between you that you'd be paid at the time you did the work... I don't know if you have a leg to stand on? As another commenter said, you could cease and desist them to stop them using your work, but as far as being paid for a job you verbally agreed to do for free? I can't see that flying.
Consult a lawyer for a definitive answer, but I think you may be shit outta luck. These things, if you don't have a contract you don't have a hope.
