Today, my old boss stiffed me on a large sum of money he owes me. I tried to contact him and point out that he legally owes me the money, but he won't answer his texts or his phone, and the managers say he changes the subject whenever they bring it up. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I received a phone call from my old boss asking me why I wasn't at work, to which I responded, "Because you fired me yesterday." He didn't say anything, and hung up. FML
Today, after not receiving my paycheck for over a month, I confronted my boss about it. His response? "You still work here?" FML
Today, my old boss is such an arsehole that not only did he fire me last week, he completely forgot about firing me and when he saw me in the shop as a customer, he yelled at me for being late and out of uniform. I swear his mother didn’t birth him, she shat him out the other hole. FML
Today, my former boss called to bitch me out for some computer issue he emailed me to fix three days ago. I quit my job there 7 months ago, and I had to hand my phone to my new manager to convince my old boss I really did quit and wasn’t just avoiding fixing the computer problem. Asshole. FML
Today, my boss called me, furious about how I "never answer my phone", especially when important clients are trying to reach me, and how unprofessional I am. I make very sure to never miss any calls, my boss just keeps giving out the wrong number to people. FML
Today, my ex-boss still owes me almost 900€. I just paid another 150€ to have a lawyer tell me that, yes, the law is clearly on my side but no, I will most likely not win in court because I don't have hard proof. I just paid money to be told I won't be getting the money I'm owed. FML
Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML
Today, my boss mistakenly drunk-texted me and was talking shit about me. FML
Today, my boss reprimanded me for a huge screw-up that he was responsible for. FML
Today, like every day, my boss was complaining about something or other, but this time it was work that I knew he'd done himself, and he still blamed me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think you can go ahead and sue without people freaking out and saying everyone sues too much. It's justified

You have two options you can sue and drag it out in court and maybe it will cost you more than what he owes you but since he's being a huge dick I'll suggest you go and beat your money out of his bitch ass

If he or she sued they could sue for more money in damages also the court my lay the fees on him

No option but to take legal action. He will be served papers and if he still feels like avoiding the situation then you'll win by default and either he pays up or faces charges. So just bite the bullet and get a lawyer. When you win your old boss should be responsible for the lawyers fees.

Time to lawyer up!

go to the nlrb (national labor board) if you're in the states or look up the equivalent for your country. They will handle your case for free and they will get it done quickly.

I think at this point OP, you need to go talk to HR and have them help you out. That's bogus.

If this happened in the first place then it's probably a small run business and doesn't have an HR department. He could still call up labor services and explain his claim.

do you have proof? if yes, since he's your old boss, have you thought of small claims court?
