I actually started to really dislike his attitude by this point, and was down to doing things he asked me to do, when he asked for them, and only that. I stopped trying to improve the design of the system on my own within a month of working for him. Which is also when another nasty surprise hit me.
He wasn,t going to pay me. I'd only get money if his product took off, 25% in his company if it ever lifted off the ground. This is defintely not what we agreed on at first. I was basically working for free, and got extremely angry.
But then he relented and thanks to a friend making it clear he'd be left alone unless he complied, finally gave me money. Not every month. No no. Only when he felt that the work I had done deserved some money. Not even $100, most of the time.
