I hope to not sound unethical but I would like to know what you folks do to make sure you get paid, after a job? I did a side job about 4 years ago. I have given up on getting paid. They know I wont take it to court, I dont want the headache. To make matters worse, I used a fine vendor on this site for the hardware and this company didnt pay them either! What do you folks do to makes sure you get paid? I had a programmer tell me he puts "time bombs" in his code that will bring production to a halt, if not diffused. He diffuses it after he receives full payment. He told me "even an experienced programmer would have trouble finding and diffusing it". That sounds unethical to me but I now see his point. We work hard and not getting paid in full is unethical as well. Any ideas for my next side job? I worked hard on it, really long hours.
