Have My Check On Time



I came back today and was met with a story about children participating in the 'summer jobs program'; and them not being paid on time. I'm sure this isn't as critical as some people make it out to be. No doubt it's a temporary inconvenience that will be cleared up in 7 to 14 days. But that could seem like an eternity to some people though.Many of the parents have expressed outrage publicly about their displeasure with the situation. Let's be clear here, I'm not saying people shouldn't be upset. It depends on the reason you're complaining in the first place though. Is it because the system has failed because of someones incompetent work performance, or is it due to your incompetence as a parent? Have you failed to live up to your obligations to your children? By not adequately providing for their well being. If you're counting on a 'summer jobs program' check to keep your budget afloat. You don't have your business in order to begin with. This is a multifaceted problem that addresses a variety of issues in the community. When people work, they are expecting to be paid at the agreed upon time (payday). Any employee expects to get their money when they've worked the allotted hours. The only people that won't raise a fuss are those people who are in management. They're supposed to represent the company no matter what's happening. Another reason for their calmness in the midst of confusion is usually.They expect to get paid even if no one else does.In all my years of working. I have never had this happen to me. Not saying that it couldn't, it just hasn't.

One thing I haven't heard mentioned so far, that I think is a valuable lesson. This is what happens when we depend on these sponsored programs. What happens if the sponsors don't show up when expected? Now this can inadvertently be compared to the aftermath of "Hurricane Katrina". If your only option depends on someone else coming through. You just might come up short. Always have a backup plan in place. Many of these jobs were created anyway. We mustn't forget that some people were complaining at first about there "not being any summer jobs available". They claimed the children would be predisposed to commit crimes due to boredom. I knew that was just a smokescreen. It seems it hasn't helped cut down on crime so far. The criminals aren't concerned with getting summer jobs. They're just waiting to rob them one way or another after they get paid. Back to those outspoken parents complaining more than the children. It's not like the children won't be paid at all.Those same parents were undeservedly counting on this money then. If I were a betting man I'd be willing to bet. Many of these parents are probably the same people complaining loudest now.
