This 'no paying shit' is always there. I do work from time to time with one of the most highly regarded creative companies... I wont say which one... and they, as a matter of unwritten policy, will not pay unless they are absolutely backed into a corner and forced to. I have had a head-on clash with their head of finance in the past and been forced to hold other ongoing work to ransom just to get paid for completed projects... 4 months later than due date. There were no quibbles with my work or my timing. Everyone was happy, they just didn't want to pay.
I have worked at a few design companies in my time and know for a fact that the people in finance consider it part of their service to the company to obtain incoming payments as quickly as possible and to with-hold all outgoing payments as long as possible.
They're a specialist breed, as we all are in our own ways.
Was that 10 words maximum? I think it was. yeah, I'm SURE it was.
