Ohh for gods sake, you all arent employees of wafflepool you're running your own small business, and any business that can't handle a payment a month late let alone a couple of days is doomed to fail miserably, any good business knows they need to keep enough cash on the books to cover late payments.
And your analogies of salaries being late... very few jobs in the world pay daily and those that do don't have intermediary exchanges etc to go through to pay you, they're cash out of a till, further I don't think I know anyone who has never had a late paid salary in their life, it happens on occasion admin doesnt get the pays in before close of trade once in a blue moon, public holidays etc.
The pool is essentially brand new and just went from less than 1 GH to over 10 GH, that is bound to cause a few hiccups, give the poor guy even just a week to iron things out not mere hours.
Finally everything in cryptocurrency is volatile, this is not an industry of security, if you can't handle the wet consider getting out of the water.
