      I mean tbf the contracted employee is technically just as stupid as the employer for continuing to work without pay unless their contract stipulated payment upon completion or some such. And if so, they're even dumber for signing such a contract. I have no empathy for people that put themselves in the fire. Id say it's karma for participating in a scam.
