Do you have a retirement account with this company?
I would keep an eye on it if I were you....

They offered a 401K - 50% matching. I forgot to sign up for it a few months back when my enrollment hit. I'm glad I didn't now.

Usually 401k plans are safe from problem like this because they are managed by an outside investment firm. If you are in a 401k and your statements come from an outside firm, that money is safe (the company can't take it back). The risk is generally limited to very current contributions which a company might delay if they are having cash problems. Once the contributions appear on your statement, that money is pretty much safe.

I would be more worried about medical insurance being paid up (in general, not your situation specifically).

Sh!t, you know I think you're right. (I think our 401K was managed by Hartford) Was Enron's 401 self managed? I guess I got it confused with that. And I have my medical through other avenues, they doubled the medical costs a month after I started. I should have seen it coming.

And thanks for the advice about staying/walking out. I have no doubt they'll meet their obligations, it's just how soon is what concerns me. Our system admin and myself have a plan of um, accepting certain pieces of collateral in case we never do get paid.

Somebody let the P&Ners out of P&N.

Which brings me to my next question... How do you like your steak?

I like mine Medium-Rare 🙂

Keep voting Republican :roll:

Let me see if I've got this right, you copied RagingBitch's sig into the text of the message, quoted it all & turned this into a political post?

Dave, have you been skipping your medications?

Awwwwww how quaint, a fellow Texan (and most likely another rabid Bush fan) comes to the aid of another Texan whining about a "Political" problem.

Prove it is not a Politically based problem.[/quote]

Prove it is one.
 
Touchy touchy touchy. Talk about lighting a fuse.

I said one little line "Keep voting Republican" and look at the Firestorm it touched off.

If things were so great explain how such a Firestorm could get set off on one little remark and I did not mention the guy in the Oval Office specifically?

Sure looks like a lot of folks have a lack of confidence in their decision and choice as well as probably feeling guilty too.

Since when did the discussion turn to politics? We are talking steak here people!

How do you like your steak cooked?
 
Motion for ban. Dave, you mentioned "the guy in the oval office" when you quoted RagingBITCH's sig. You are a hypocrite and a troll.
 
Let me see if I can make this work.

1.) RagingBitch's company doesn't make payroll
2.) Colin Powell's son has been in charge of the FCC
3.) The FCC allowed the merger
4.) Colin Powell's uses Colon Blow for constipation
5.) Dick Cheney's daughter is gay (colon reference)
6.) Lyn Cheney's daughter knows Kevin Bacon.

Cool, I love the 6 degrees of seperation game.

Was Enron's 401 self managed?

It's not that Enron controlled all the money in the 401k. The problem with Enron was that so many people had their 401k funds invested in Enron stock. When the stock tanked, that erased the value. And what made it worse was that all matching funds were made with Enron stock, and the employees couldn't sell it until age 50. But the employee-contributed funds could have been diversified into investments other than Enron stock - but most of the employees didn't do that.

just inbetween a thin pink line in the middle and all brown. I dislike drinking blood unless it's my own.

Well seriously, hope you and your fellow colleagues do get paid.

Like somebody said, you can bet the CEO and the other Execs will see money in their bank accounts.

Did you even read my post?

It touched off a firestorm because nobody can figure out what the hell you're talking about, and you've yet to give us an answer.

What the hell does the President have to do with the fact that his company didn't make payroll?

So Eli gets to hear your detailed analysis on why Bush is at fault, but not the rest of us? 🙁

You probably don't want to anyway. I like to think of Dave as the village idiot. You kind of pity the poor dipsh!t but you're never really quite sure if you want to laugh at him or push him down a long flight of stairs.

Awwwww Thank you :thumbsup:

Better off picking the stairs, most likely I'd at least be unconcious so you would get a break from hearing the truth for a while being that the truth hurts so much :laugh:

You can still have a thoroughly cooked steak and it still be juicy. Ribeyes are good like that. 🙂
