But for potentially $500 after taxes… I will take the 20 minutes to grieve it. I have found that if things are done in good faith on my end, I am always paid per the contract. YMMV. One of my best friends works for AA and that is certainly not his experience.

If you want to feel like a victim, there are 1000 places to feel mistreated in this job. Starting with things that actually matter, like every single health study that sites regular sleep cycles as one of the best things you can do health wise after managing weight and getting your heart rate up.
