Handing in my notice today, fuck this place and everyone in it.
A NOC manager who can barely run a PC? Check.
Rampant favoritism? Check.
Managers with no qualifications? Check.
Extremely high client turn over? Check.
Can’t ever pay us on time? Check.
Appealingly low wages? Check.
Remote offices (like mine) are pretty much abandoned, they took our company car last month so they could have an L1 tech drive it across town, meanwhile we have to drive halfway across the damn state every other day and do so in personal cars.
They let 9 people go last month and in this months all hands meeting accounting showed that we cut our expenses 2K from last month. I’m not the best at math, but i’m betting this figure is just a hair off. If accounting doesn’t even know where our money is going, how can anyone think the company is stable.
I received a job offer on Friday, it is a raise of 17.8% from my current position and significantly better (and less expensive) benefits. I almost tripped over myself sending an acceptance letter.

Run do not walk to the nearest exit. A new job like that is sometimes awesome.

APPALLINGLY low wages. App A llingly.
On a serious note, any company that can’t pay its employees on time is just an indiscriminate and irredeemable “no” in my book. You can’t leave those places soon enough.

That actually reminds me something my dad told me when I was a teenager. He’s a residential housing contractor, and I had every intention of following him into the business. That means working with and for a lot of small companies, many of which are very poorly run and/or incredibly shady. He turned to me and said, “Someday you may be working for somebody, and on payday the boss will come to you and say, ‘So, how much money do you need this week?’ Tell them you need your fucking paycheck, and if they don’t give it to you, walk away and never go back.” Fortunately I never needed to use that advice.

I remember when I gave my 2 weeks notice at a job that sucked about as much as that once. It was a fantastic day!
Congratulations, and good luck!

Congrats and best of luck at the new gig. What sector of IT do you work in? I'm a Systems Administrator and have worked places like that before and never stayed long. A paycheck is never worth that amount of hassle.

Can't pay on time? Always a huge red flag. Run and don't look back (except to laugh)
