How Do We Stop Wage Garnishment? Three possible options to stop wage garnishment are Motion to Lift Default Judgment, Debt Settlement, and Bankruptcy. Motion to Lift Default Judgment: If a person's wages are garnished based on a false or invalid debt without that person first receiving proper notice and opportunity to appear at a court hearing on the matter, then the person may file a Motion to Lift Default Judgment. If the motion is successful, the court will find that the debt is not valid and will terminate the garnishment. Debt settlement: In some situations, debtor can negotiate an agreement with a creditor, whereby the creditor will agree to accept an amount of money less than the total amount owed, if the debtor can arrange to pay this money in a lump sum, often with the help of friends or relatives. Bankruptcy: Another option is to file for bankruptcy, which stops most wage garnishments through an automatic bankruptcy stay. The Automatic Stay means that most creditors and courts that have notice of the bankruptcy have to immediately stop trying to collect from the person who filed for bankruptcy (the Debtor).
In a startup or small company, as a developer, you're doing everything: you might develop the product, release it, AND maintain it. You're also responsible for any bugs. This process is split up in large scale enterprises. You have a business team and a software development team that will build the product. They hand off to the operations team and the operations team deploys, maintains and makes sure that it's running. If there's a problem, operations will handle it. As a developer, you really know the software. You understand what should happen and how it should function. When you're handing it off to an operations team to deploy and manage, they don't really know very much about it because they didn't build it. This can create a feeling of misalignment where teams aren't moving towards the same goal. CALMR Approach to Agile Development We've discussed how teams can be misaligned above if not everyone works together. When you're using a Scaled Agile approach – it is a more holistic process.
