This story ended quite happily

Go on then.

Oh okay.. I got my half-month's payout plus some extra for the additional work I did. They rejected two of my quotes for some work they still needed doing, so I said to myself: stuff this, did the minimal amount of work to satisfy the requirements (and a little bit more I just could not leave undone), and just gave it to them and asked for my two weeks. Plus what they thought the other stuff was worth. They gave me a bit extra which I was quite happy with.

Lots of whingeing on my part (Aussie whingeing, hasn't failed yet ), and luckily no threats required.

The misunderstanding happened because a) I assumed what was best for me and b) they're a small startup where money is tight and they assumed the same for themselves.

I'm happy with the outcome, and especially that they gave me a job at the beginning and the skills I picked up. I hope they're happy too. They did ask me before if I would like to work for them again once more work (and money) comes in, and I'm quite willing to do that.
