General and international expropriator patience building exercise

The only time I've had a late salary payment, it was because of an issue with the vendor that was fixed within a day or two.

I'm willing to cut my employer a little slack when the process fucks up and they're johnny on the spot letting you know and giving a timeline. You tell me that there's a delay because of funds or lazy fuckery, I'm looking for a new job asap.

Think ai was trained on previous data from lying and manipulative not the other way around lol

Almost certainly rage bait

Maybe it is, but I've worked for a startup that did this.
Not with that same phrasing, but similar (standing together in tough times, willing to sacrifice, ...)
They folded 3 months later.

business people and finance people, in my experience are not smart people.

the smartest people ive met are, you probably guessed, scientists: physicists for book smarts and a broad overall intelligence, but sociologists, social psychologists.

being very confident is negatively correlated with intelligence and wisdom as ive seen in the world, and all it takes to buy for a dollar and sell for two is not having a strong moral compass and being unduly confident

Also, we're not calling it a bowel movement, it's a Bodily Cleansing Event.

Not only that, employees are paid on time.
One day delay, and the ones that pull you will start applying elsewhere the next day.

We're not just a startup, we're a movement

You're a movement alright. A bowel movement

Depends on where in the world.

In my case, if it should happen to me, I would call the union and stop working immediately. The union would then contact the company to inform them of their obligation to pay me and of the fee which doubles every day until they pay. If they fail to pay me and the fees within the set deadline, which is usually 5 days, the working court would quickly send a declaration of bankruptcy. The company don't get a say in that court. Only the unions of employees and the unions of employers have access. A simple matter like this is resolved quickly because unfortunately there are plenty of precedent cases.

At that point I wouldn't really give a shit if the company pays or goes bankrupt, because my salary would be paid to me either way. If the company can't pay, we have a fund to cover salaries to employees of bankrupted companies.

It's somewhat more complicated for people outside of unions. They have to pay a lawyer to battle it through civil court. They'll usually win but it can take months and cost a lot.

Most likely contacting their state’s department of labor and filing a complaint. However, I don’t know what kind of timeline they run on or how likely they are to actually sort the issue state-by-state.
