Oef, the moment cash flow becomes an issue, get out, loyalty to any company is only going to leave you with nothing. i've had friends who were in this situation and they stuck it out because they either thought it would just be a glitch, they saw others stayed on or they felt so used to the place they didn't want to leave and this can go on for months
If you don't get your compensation for your time and energy don't put up with it
