Hey fellow zbrushers,
I invite you to please share positive experiences, and tell us how to avoid negative ones
This kind of a ‘negative’ thread will not yield the results you are looking for. Instead, why don’t you start a thread that will have a positive impact?
Ask for good experiences and learn how to find a ‘good employer’. It will be far more effective than spending your time in avoiding a ‘bad employer’.
Option A
- I think you’ll be really useful for the pipeline.
- Thanks if this is all I have to do, I’ll start working.
(2 weeks later)
- Here, I’ve just finished the model
- Great!, please hand me the files
- Here they are
- Thanks… I’ll send you a check. (that never arrives)
Option B
- I think you’ll be useful for us, here is the contract, sign here, and there
(read contract twice, sign)
- Ok, what I have to do? Ok… I’ll start working, as the contract states I need 50% of the payment
(2 weeks later)
- Hey, I’ve just finished the model
- Great, let’s check it
- Any modifications?
- Just tweak this, and that… Yeah! looks great. Please hand me the files
- Yep… but I need the other 50% : D
- Here it is
ISK-86, thanks for sharing! Yeah I had the same idea, but then the employer arrives and I don’t have the guts to propose that because I need the money really bad 
But sometimes (most times) doesn’t pay, so you’re probably right.
Hopefully your experience will make us more gutsy 
Support, thanks for the heads up, you’re absolutely right
Now let’s turn this into a happy thread
