Every Silver Lining Has A Cloud

Had phone call with my boss this morning. The university sent me a contract with the wrong dates on, a 10 month contract for 6 months work and pay. In other words they are withholding money from me by extending the payment time by 4 months. I pointed out to him that this was illegal and he said that the only other choice was to take a 30% pay cut. I asked him if he would like to do that and he said no but that he was unable to give me any other option.
I hate them. I hate having to work for them. I hate having to work.
