So I overwork for pennies. I struggle to let go of the job cause I am scared of being dependent on parents. My pay day is supposedly on 15 of every month. It is 6 April today. I describe the content of 1k logo images per day with at least 2 words and I work 6 days every week. If I do not give the files on time, I have to work 7 days a week. Yesterday I did not give files and manager spammed me and asked me to work today on Sunday. He messaged me at 11pm last night and now again in the morning. I want to ghost him, idk if he will pay me for the work I have done so far, plus I feel embarrassed for not having messaged him. It is a freelance job so we do not have a contract we need to break or something. I had a mental breakdown and 3 times the past week I gave the files the next day and he kept spamming me.if he does not work I get no files that day and I have to do more in the following days to catch up and also work on Sundays. There were times where I worked for 2 weeks straight. I have another job I want to apply to with less work and more money. The thing is that I have a prepaid bank card and he pays me by putting the money in the card and idk I am a bit scared that he may do something against me for revenge. I am a disabled young adult and I live with my abusive parents but I have to buy my food completely on my own. I have brain lesions and I get migraines with aura, I try not to but I had one the past week after a while due to not taking care. I was thinking of maybe asking for another worker who will do 500 files and I can do the other 500 and we will share the pay.
