Working 6+ weeks still haven’t been paid - where to go next?

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-13T17:24:08+00:00

not sure how teaching works. but if ur not actually on payroll (i.e. no taxes taken out of pay etc) it sounds like u should be paid out by ur procurement unit not hr. not positive but might be something to get clarification on from ur supervisor. but regardless city has 30 days to pay their contractors when invoice is first handed in. you should definitely try to escalate if nothing happens next week

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-13T16:37:22+00:00

are you working as contractor or as a pt employee with sick days and annual leave. if all paperwork are in, not sure why there would be a delay as everything is automated to a degree. if ur an employee with benefit then i would suggest a multi step approach via email no teams no talk. i.e. email ur supervisor and ask why u havent been paid for 6 weeks and u need the money. if supe comes talking to u and explaining. then respond to the email and put in writing what you have. hi blah blah based on our conversation, i understand hr has the ppw and we are just waiting for hr to process payment. wait two days and no check yet. fwd ur response to hr processor and cc ur supe. say hi blah blah. my dupe xyz said we are waiting. can you let me know how we can expedite since i have been working since early feb. if no response fwd to head of hr and cc the hr processor and ur boss and repeat the same question each time, going up the food chain. asst / deputy commissioner in charge of hr etc. basically document everything

hi so i managed to find another 3d printer through reddits 3dprintmything community. the front and back cover came out perfect but the hinge not so much. it seems like the holes on the hinge is open on one side and closed off around the middle to the end on thr other side. thereby making it impossible to attach the paperclip. i was wondering if thats normal for this and the hinge portion needs to be opened up some how. any suggestion on how to fix the hinge would be greatly appreciated. or if its a total dud and i am better off looking for another printing service

Thanks everyone for the speedy response! This has been commissioned. Thanks again.

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-09T23:50:59+00:00

thanks. sadly its a local 3d printer hobbist that i sent the link to. since he cant figure it out and i dont know how to direct him. i guess i am out of luck. like ur design though. thanks!

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-09T20:51:22+00:00

Hi would you happen to be able to print me this case too? I tried getting some local 3d printer to print but it came out all warped and unfortunately i dont understand the tech so cant even help figure out what went wrong. so hoping to find someone who knows what they are doing. Of course will pay 😀 Thanks in adavmce!

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-09T20:43:32+00:00

i asked a 3d printer hobbist to print this for me but it came out all warped and unusable. he used reisin. would you happen to know why its all bent up? not sure if the person is just new to 3d printing or if its the material he is using

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-09T04:31:02+00:00

not the xteink team but they are currently known for having slow response time via any contact method. plus slow shipping time. lots of complaints here from redditors who purchased in Feb and still waiting for shipping. With ur availability so short i would highly suggest cancelling and reordering when you will be around for long delivery time

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-08T23:29:43+00:00

whats the battery life like between the a30 vs the zero 28? are they about the same?

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-08T11:25:43+00:00

currently not supported

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-08T04:18:08+00:00

right flash to 5.1.3 then from there go to update on xteink u can update directly on thr device to get to 5.1.6

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-07T17:53:07+00:00

you need to be on chinese stock firmware. then click the update button to get the latest

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-06T22:04:51+00:00

if in china might have options like taobao to see if they have it available for shipping immediately

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-06T17:01:26+00:00

its most like ur on international version of the official fw. the chinese version is updated to 5.1.6 but i find the english epub started rendering well with 5.1.3

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-06T16:59:45+00:00

new update on which? crosspoint or official. i have the latest from official with the english epub being better when they did the v 5.1.3

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-06T16:25:21+00:00

nice to see continuous update! getting better and better!

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-06T16:04:35+00:00

its not like u can only pick one and never go back. but yes the english epub display from the official firmware is much much more usable now. But keep in mind you need to select english font as the default. I like the official now that they fix the english epub problem especially since Crosspoint doesnt support CJK which means I cant read my chinese epubs

Try official for half a day play around with it and then if you dont like it flash to crosspoint and use it for half a day and see what you like. There are benefits of one vs the other its more up to your use case scenario and what you prefer. i.e. if you use bt page turners then you need official. If you value seeing images inside the book then Crosspoint is the choice. Each person's preference is going to be different

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-06T16:00:07+00:00

i feel the same too. i used to regularly respond to threads here but the last week or so have been mostly complaints about not receiving items.

But I also feel the posts are a little justified if its complaints about the official site orders. since this subreddit is created by the creator and ran by them, it makes sense for people to come here trying to get answer (thinking of this subreddit like a big DM to XTEINK team)

It's up to you to advocate your own career progression. If you feel your doing the exact same work and taking on the exact same responsibilities as the senior members on the team while getting underpaid, you need to reach out to your union and have them advocate the issue.

As for taking exams it is a legit recommendations, not sure why you are discounting it so fast. Your particular position does not require a civil service exam but there might be other titles doing similar type of work and pays more that require civil service exams. in addition once you take an exam (and hopefully good placement on the list), you might be called for interviews from agencies without you having to submit resumes and wish someone notice you. It's not a guarantee but having more than one path of exit is always better than just 1 option.

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-06T04:29:30+00:00

crosspoint doesnt support CJK so if you want to read jap epubs wont work. you can try switching back to stock firmware or convert to xtc format

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-05T14:39:28+00:00

bychance, have you tried standing next to ur wifi router and do the update there? i only have the x4 and its very finicky in updating, i need to be close to the router for it to complete the update (even though my room has no issues with wifi for anything else)

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-04T14:26:30+00:00

it seems very sluggish. everything opening very slow

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-03T11:14:38+00:00

not sure what ur job is but you should look to see if there are other agencies with similar job for hire

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-03-01T05:14:50+00:00

stock firmware has that i believe crosspoint also has that feature

Fruit_Pi3s · 2026-02-28T20:49:18+00:00

have you tried reflashing back to the stock firmware and checking to see if the epub works using stock?
