You must be glad you left. What if they had messed up a couple of zeros in your pay?
So, in my part of World, we usually get paid few days after we leave. Companies claim that this duration is needed to calculate if employee owes them something. If yes, they just deduct it from last payment. Is it something different where you work?

They could have paid in a few days, I would not have minded. The issue is, they had no idea I was going and I don't know when they will pay.
It seems to me, given that I worked for a company in the US and the pay came through a sister company in Australia, that I could have kept quiet and had two salaries for years. It probably would have come to light when some HR geek asked why I'd not taken leave in 2 years.

That is really interesting. A little extra money for doing nothing never hurts. I would have stayed quiet.

I've had clerical errors result in double pay and so on before. Always be honest. Then you can live without fear.

Or you could just fake your identity in legal documents and get away with it.
P.S. You do realize I am not serious about any of it. I too would have done the same thing as you suggest.

So, it's my last day. Pretty much everyone I work with, is done for the day. No-one contacted me. I wasn't paid ( I was supposed to be paid out today ). And I'm sitting here, fighting with CSS, because something I asked for two weeks ago, got done yesterday, but I was given a jpg to match instead of HTML.
Roll on Monday

Let them deal with it on Monday, after today it's their headache. Or is that why they haven't paid you yet?
It was broke, so I fixed it.

*grin* well, I've offered to contract for a bit to ease them through, although I found out that they only plan on having me for two weeks, so it's not that far from being the case.

In the end you usually discover that it is the approaching train.

There's no such thing as a "leader", there are just people who have abilities and knowledge that are appropriate for a leadership role under particular circumstances and conditions, and to whom other people allow a measure of authority.
Take someone you think of as "a good leader" from here and place him there, and he can become a useless, annoying piece of cr@p, because the people there don't think of him as a leader.
Scrap any self-improvement books that tell you otherwise.
Actually, just scrap any self-improvement books.
You are who you are. If that's not good enough for you, just check in to an insane asylum, and save everyone else a lot of bother in dealing with you.

Nope.
Someone who is convinced that trying to change himself in accordance with other people's ideas will improve his personality needs a slap, not encouragement, to knock those ideas right out of his head.
Trying to be someone you're not makes you a worse person, not a better one.

You seem you based your reply on this idea that you though about me, I know that I can't be anything other than what I'm really is.
By the way , I'm not a leader!

I wasn't commenting on you or your personality, I was answering your question. The "you" is used impersonally, in English.

So, np, as I'm not that perfect in English.
