So I started working for a new company in San Diego 3 1/2 months ago. I'm working as a contractor for another month or so, then I come in full time. I really love this new company.

However, my actual employer is out of Boston. They are a firm that supplies developers to other companies. Since the day I started their on-line timesheet app has not worked. Entires are not saved, various issues entering job code, etc..

Finally it stopped working altogether. Now, when I click the link I get an error page showing

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

My first thought was someone didn't null check a references. Should be a fairly easy fix.

That was 4 weeks ago.

In the meantime I have been tracking my hours in Excel and sending that in and they enter it for me. They've finally screwed up my pay... Mailed me a check and then direct deposited TWICE the amount the following week... I was paid TWICE for the same week.

Finally, yesterday I get an email from the main contact there which she was forwarding from their IT tech support:
Hey Mary, 
I tried logging in with his credentials. Please have him try the following. 
Username = kevin@blahblah.com                   //<==== MY EMAIL ADDRESS WAS HERE
Password = GXXXXXXXXXXX (capital G)             //<==== MY PASSWORD WAS HERE
Let me know please! 

The email address and password WERE SENT IN THE CLEAR in an email!!!!!
If it's not broken, fix it until it is
