I've known some who haven't gotten paid in months but in a different aspect. These are contracted construction workers doing project jobs for a company. The reason why their boss can't pay the staff is that the company still has not paid the contractor for services completed. Another way a boss locally of a lawn/landscaping service holds the wages of their employees is in reality can't even pay them. The residential customers that get billed for jobs don't even pay on time some months later after getting billed.

And yet they keep showing up for work. Why is that? If you're not getting paid why go to work. Take that time to beg on street corners if you have too, but at least you will get something for your efforts. Any, and I mean any, business that isn't fluid enough to pay help, in spite of slow customer payment, never should have gone into business to begin with or hired people that they didn't have a contingency plan on how to pay them. There are avenues for people in the states, but I'm not at all familiar with how the works in Mexico.

That's not real world. I had worked for a Fortune 500 company and at a time the scuttlebutt talk among the frustrations of contractors to my bosses were they had not gotten paid in 2 months .

No, the real world is that if you don't pay me anything you are going to get nothing. Private enterprise is not a charity and you can bet the big wheels are getting paid. If there is a situation that makes it so that the company is having rough times and there is a plan and you feel you can trust them than ok take a chance. Also in the real world, you cannot eat promises or clothe your self with them, or have a place to live with those promises. Real life for most people means that they have to break free and find some other way to support themselves. That is who we are talking about. Not someone you hire to come in and put up a building up for you or supply you with needed inventories to run the business.

I realize the in the real world there are a lot of inside people that are being told that they must be contract workers. That's so the business can skip paying workers comp., matching SS deposits and health insurance. If they stayed on it would be just as dumb as someone that is classified as an employee, be it hourly or salary, continuing to stay in a place if they aren't getting paid. Why would they do that and how could they afford too?

The situation we have been discussing is not the idea that any company will at times not pay the outside people that they purchase stuff from, it is a person that actually is an employee of a company and works directly for them and doesn't have any other income. Those are two different things. On a side note though, how does a company get to be a Fortune 500 company if they don't pay their bills unless they have a percentage retention in their contract and/or there is a problem in the services they purchased. That is a normal contractual situation on all construction projects.

I know what you were talking about, but that is not what started this conversation. This started because of one of our forum members having his actual pay held up by his bosses. Not some outside vendor that hasn't gotten paid by the company.
