AW Pending Payments

[Miss Deviant]

Aw Sophia I'm really sorry that's awful, I think it's the not knowing must be making it all so much worse. If there was a light at the end of the tunnel and definite dead line people could take a deep breath and make plans to last it out until it was sorted.
It's really cruel for people to still be talking down to the girls who are struggle and telling them what they should have done. Hindsight is a wonderful thing! X

Thank you. We all have our own reasons for doing things in a certain way. Horses for courses. Yes it has taught us all a valuable lesson. But to say "oh, it's your fault for not making alternative arrangements," is like saying to a raped woman "oh it's your fault for wearing a skirt." None of us could foresee it was going to take this long; especially since from the very beginning, AdultWork said and I quote: Please rest assured, there are no issues with cash flow or financing and there is certainly no need to signup to any intermediaries offering other methods or frequencies of payment." 

We took their assurances and decided to be patient. But when you're struggling financially; as many girls are, then patience starts to wear thin. For what it's worth; I do have alternative back ups so I'm not totally without funds. Granted; it's not to the level I earn with AW, but it's better than nothing. I don't put all my eggs in one basket, as has been accused. For I feel for those who don't have a back up - I've been in a situation where you have zero money to scratch your arse with. To be lectured by those who claim to know better, is not helpful. It's like rubbing salt in already very sore wounds.

I have to agree, and that is what I have found really sad about the whole thing. No one is saying not having a back up plan is wise, what these girls are saying is how do we move forward and what can we expect to happen now. I think it's sadistic when girls are already stressed to the eyes and in tears, that they are being made fun of too. I consider myself very very lucky this hasn't effected me, my heart really does go out to the ladies left with nothing. That is never anyone's first choice! But these things happen, that's life, sadly x

Exactly. I think the ones picking fault would have a different attitude if they were the ones stressed and worried.
