I was contacted in January this year and delivered a full‑day training for Mangates on January 13, 2026, on Complete AI Productivity & Ethical Prompting. I also personally paid CAD 18.50 out of pocket to print certificates for their participants, exactly as they requested.
It is now March 4, and I have still not been paid.
What I experienced was a cycle of excuses and shifting deadlines. One day it’s “technical glitches.” The next day it’s “year‑end closure activities.” Every promised date has been missed. Every follow‑up has been met with a new explanation. Meanwhile, I delivered the training professionally, on time, and even covered printing costs myself.
This is not a one‑off delay it’s a pattern of unprofessional and unreliable payment practices. Trainers deserve transparency and respect, not endless runarounds and broken commitments. This is unacceptable.
What makes this worse is their own NDA, which claims:
Payment will be made within 14–21 business days, and
“in case of late payment,” it will not exceed one month from the training date.
If payment is delayed beyond this period, the Trainer may contact mangates support for resolution.
This clause just sets deadlines with no enforcement, no consequences, and no escalation. The only “remedy” they offer is to email support which is exactly what I have been doing for weeks. In practice, this clause allows them to miss every deadline with zero accountability.
If you are a trainer considering working with this company, please take my experience seriously. I strongly discourage signing any agreement with a zero accountability clause like this.
