   No worries, you and others are helping me see this. It's such a good point to find the right environment. I think that's the best approach going forward with other companies. I've worked with many people over the years and

   I totally agree, I've never been in this kind of situation before. I've managed teams before, worked as a grafter and everything in-between, my complains have always been technical in nature. Never personal, in fact quite the oppo

   This is exactly the contract that has caused the issue. I asked for the agreed fee for my IP under the terms of the contract.

   I have started to think along these lines now, but have to be careful not to bias myself. It might turn out that this is true, and I am keeping an open mind about it all.

   Ah sorry I was not more clear. I have been paid for some of the work, but not all. The contract was signed and they do owe me the money. I was more wanting to hear some feedback on my situation. It's a tough season for me and I wan

   I have been paid for some of my work, just not the full amount. I was and am a private contractor, labour was paid but not the IP transfer. Thats what brought it to a head, me asking for the fee.

   Yes I think this answers my question quite distinctly, asking for the agreed amount should not have resulted on what happened. Even if there is a misunderstanding on any side, it should have resulted in negotiations, not an immediate accus

    Thanks so much for the time to write all this! There are some great points here, but a few leaps. Nope, not from a codependent family. I did create the product (A game), I designed the game and designed a novel tech to run it. I was given

    It's clear something like this has happened. Writing it down and getting valuable feedback here is helping me with my self doubt. I'm always questioning all kinds of things about myself surrounding this. I didn't create th

    I did think we where both, this is 100% my mistake. Not being bitter about it, rather I should have been more strict and not offered business favours for free. Things like not charging for late payments, relocation and so on. 100% my erro

    Yes, I usually agree. We do have something in writing and my lawyer is taking it seriously. What bothers me, if a bigger name than I is claiming my work as his own, what impact that will have on my career?

    No not yet, this is only weeks old at this point. Yeah, after seeing the velocity in which I was told I created little of value for the company, I think the resentment and ego issues runs much deeper that I saw.

    This is a throwaway account, but I'd like some advice on this very subject. I recently ended a working relationship with a company that had a problem with 'not liking' me. I moved to another country to offer onsite services t
