knowing someone who worked at Asylum I was told it all ended rather shabbily. in typical fashion the people at the top crapped over the people at the bottom, made sure all the work was completed then turned around and told the staff they wouldn`t be paid for it.
this is very common these days and i think its time it was made an offence myself. its fraud.
According to a report from Variety: “McGuinness expressed his regret that artists will be left unpaid for their final week’s work.”

There’s much praise around for Nathan McGuinness’ work at Asylum, including from ppl who worked there. He does not seem at all like someone who would enjoy being in such a situation, or who wouldn’t do the best he could for artists at his facility.

It seems like this is one of those regrettable situations where no one ends up winning.
Could the company sign over a license seats to a employee that didn’t get paid? Or a computer, aeron chair? Would be better then nothing.
Agreed. That would at least be some compensation.
