I have only been on the job a month. I am to be paid for the first time on Tuesday. I am on my weekend until then. Tonight, Friday, I was told for the first time that I could leave to go to the apartment early because there was nothing left to do. I ask how pay is generally done, and I was told that I could expect the pay to be in cash. There has been a bit of tension. My direct supervisor is having PMS from hell. So, go home early, get paid in cash, are these indications that I might be getting fired?

Please repond asap, because of course if it's "yes" then I will have lots more questions. Thanks.

Thanks. When I take all this cash to the bank, can I expect to be able to transfer it into a US account?

Yes, you can. It will be at a shockingly horrific rate at the moment though.

if you think you might get fired ANY time in the near future, the very last thing you want to have done is to send all your money home by transfer

you'll need that cash to get a ticket, maybe somewhere to live, some money to survive until you get back on your feet
