I've been working for a startup for a while. Recently, one of their checks bounced after 5 days in the bank. Didn't notice it had bounced as I was busy working.
> Oh no worries we'll fix it anon
Get next paycheck a few days later. That one bounces too. I stop working. Still haven't gotten paid for a months work.
Talk to finance guy at company. They are out of cash, and trying to hide it. What can I do to get paid /g/?

You call a lawyer, which you should have done after the first check bounced.
If a company doesn't have the funds to cover 2-weeks pay for 1 employee on hand, they are in serious fucking trouble and you should have bailed then.

I had a friend who worked for over a year at a start up in a similar situation never got paid for a single days work... But hey at least he got to make his own schedule and work remotely. True story

Not OP, but please explain.
I think I'm really becoming disabled(epilepsy, have all the symptoms, besides the actual seizures so far). How much ?

It's called Startup Culture(tm) OP. Did your company have a lavish office space in downtown San Francisco too, with Nerf guns and free candy and whatever other crap cringeworthy startups use to hook the next wave of expendable college CS grads into working in borderline slave labor conditions?

you could get a lawyer, but why?
you're fucked. they have no money and likely limited liability. Take some IP on your way out. might as well.

dunno just moan to people about being disabled

Real question OP, how big was the startup? A company like Workday, for example, that tries to sell itself like a startup even though it clearly isn't is still a good place. Similarly, if you join a company with like ~20 people (who probably don't even advertise themselves as a startup), can also be a good idea since you will get a good amount of stock options, as well as the fact that you will probably end up with a good addition to your network (that is, if it ends up being successful).
I feel like there is a middle ground somewhere between those two, where companies ask for "rockstars" but don't provide any of the benefits of actual startups, that make them basically shit companies.
